Yeah... I'm starting to think that I should never ever again read a book that's a New York Times Best Seller... In the end I thought this was rather unimaginative. Just the same story as the original, with a few zombies and the ridiculous ninja/martial arts fascination. Feels like the book was 'written' by a dude who's trying to be cool but failing miserably. One more book to go in this 'trilogy', though the latter part of this book took me, what felt like, forever to read.
