Zombies

I found that this story was very character driven. People can somewhat relate to the characters, regardless of the time era in which the story takes place. The one thing that threw me off when I began reading this room was that language used conflict. The style from the original "Pride and Prejudice" and zombies. At some parts in the book, they didn't quite join. It was as if the languages where squished together. It wasn't really unified at some parts. That threw me off, and takes you out of the book and the story sometimes. I also wasn’t really comfortable with the language because it was hard for me to understand some of the wording, especially since English isn’t my first language. However, the thing that did attract me to this book was the humor and zombies. I’ve always been intrigued by zombies in movies and in general. The idea of a plague has always frightened me, so having masses of people become zombies is just a scary thought. Also because it can happen to anyone, the infection is not biased. Other than that, the book didn’t really keep my attention, so I didn’t get to finish it.
