Did someone say zombies and George Romero?! When I first heard about the release of The Living Dead, I couldn't get my hands on a copy fast enough. That being said, this one didn't quite live up to the expectations that I had.
Don't get me wrong, this book is not for the faint of heart with all of the gore and gruesome details. There were several scenes that were literally something out of nightmares. However, I found that the chapters read more like disjointed short stories rather than one fluid storyline, which made it a bit difficult to follow. And since this book packs a punch at over 600 pages, I didn't think that was a good thing.
I think that this one will still resonate with a lot of readers and is still a great addition to the zombie genre, but it just didn't tick off all of the boxes for me.
