A bit slow moving for the first half for me. But I'm happy to report that the book did pick up and the second half was much better. The first half of the book is setting up the relationship between Benny and his brother Tom. It seemed to drag for too long and I was wondering if anything significant was actually going to happen in this book. It did. It just took awhile to build it up.

This book is definitely a different take on zombies. Kind of the softer side of the zombie story. Benny and Tom have to find a way to reconcile with the killing that they must do and they end up questioning what it really means to be a decent human being. Through all this Benny has to find a way to reconcile his feelings with Tom. There is some action and a bit of a twist to the story which helped to pick it up for me. But I liked how it blended all that with a 'feel good' story as well. Who would have thought a zombie story could be so touching? It's true that this book has a lot of heart.
