This book took me on an interesting journey. Mind you, not an easy one. The main issue that other reviews have already raised is that this does not really fit the typical graphic novel style. It includes pages long text and often very hard to decipher lettering, which made the whole thing very hard to read at points. Some pages just feature nearly a full page of cramped gothic script hand lettered writing with some illustrations beside it. So be aware, what you are going into, because I wish I had known that before. I read this also on a computer and I do not think that it is legible on a phone, so even though it is provided as an epub make sure you have the opportunity to read this on an appropriate device (or a physical version, which I could imagine working really well). I did like that there is such a big diversity in art styles, different fonts and art styles used for different chapters (one of my favorite backgrounds was the color-by-number approach, which I found fascinating!). 

The narrative also is not the easiest to follow, moving between characters and narrative forms and feels quite confusing. I still enjoyed it, but if you like your narratives clear and linear you will probably not find anything that interests you here. In general, it takes a long time for the zombies to come up (nearly 60%), before that we are introduced to a variety of characters and then we follow their lives. I wished for a bit more on the zombie part, but it seems like there might be more out there? 

All in all, a weird and strange experience, kinda fun, but not an easy read. I’m still glad I took the chance and I at least had a quite interesting experience.
