I cannot tell you how much I disliked this book. I think whoever recommended me Autumn as a zombie series is having a joke on me.

Like, first of all, there weren't any actual zombie behavior until closer to 80% of the book. I mean, cool, they just died first, that's great. And then they started coming alive after a few days. Spooky, I like it. ... ... and.. and then nothing? We're just reading about a bunch of people crying about how there is no point in being alive anylonger because society is gone?

And secondly of all, alright, sure, I cannot predict how I'll react if the apocalypse comes and everyone turns into dead corpses around me. Maybe I'll go catatonic myself. But this entire book was filled with people with basically 0 survival instinct. And it annoyed me. Not one? not one person took charge (of themselves) and started stockpiling some food and cleared their surrounding area of dead bodies??

I won't even let leftovers sit in a garbage bag for a day before I take that shit out on the CHANCE it might start smelling and I'm just going to be TOTALLY COOL with three dead corpses a few meters away from me? My top priority would be to either remove them, or relocate to somewhere where there were no dead bodies.
