Love this so much !

Gave the book to my grandson for Xmas. He found some damaged pages with large holes and the missing pieces caught up in the binding. Otherwise he loves the book.

My title says everything I need to. This is the BEST.

Plot:

A decent man wakes up in a post apocalyptic world where zombies roam the streets and the living are few and far between. His goal is to survive long enough to find his family and keep them safe.

Cliche? A little, true. But this book is much, much more then zombie fiction. This is great zombie fiction. In fact I can say with certainty it is the best zombie fiction ever constructed in any form.

How can it do this? How does it beat other zombie stories? Because it's not about zombies. That is why this book kicks ass. Robert Kirkman knows that a good zombie story is never about the ghouls, it's about the people. It's about the survivors. Anything else is secondary.

I have never cared for fictional characters like I cared for the people in this book. Robert Kirkman allows us to get close to his characters, he allows us time to relate to them and then gives us a little time to love them before he kills them right in front of us in the most horrible ways possible.

I warn you now, if you choose to open this book you will be subjecting yourself to some of the most horrible, intense and wonderful pain a comic can bring you. It's a very special and rare thing.

There are points when it really becomes too much and you want to put the book down and walk away, but you don't. It's too important to keep going.

The one thing I have to nit pick about this book might be the art though. Charlie Adler isn't AMAZING at faces. But please don't let that stop you from picking up an otherwise perfect story.

I have this book sitting in my lounge room and multiple people have picked it up and read it non-stop for hours upon hours until there was nothing left (slightly anti-social of them, but I'm proud non the less), not just geeks and zombie nerds like me either. This book can appeal to anyone that gives it a chance.

A zombie story with Heart and Brains. Ten out of Ten, always.
