This felt fairly overhyped to me. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't as harrowing as I had been lead to believe.

Keep in mind most people didn't grow up on /b/ getting desensitized to all sorts of fucked up shit.

Assuming you heard about it IRL and not here on 4chan.

I liked it quite a bit. More than enough in it to warrant reading such a short book and a few scenes really stuck with me.

>the scene in the library
>the part where they set fire to the forest

Both of those had me thinking long after I put the book down. The book as a whole made me ashamed of any secret wishes I had ever had for some kind of apocalypse. I think it should be mandatory reading for all of those people who want the "lol zombie apoclipse" so that they might start learning to appreciate what they have.

I was waiting for him to flip out and beast the kid. What is the point of the whole thing if he doesn't flip out and beast the kid?
