The breakdown: The third, and possibly last, book in the zombie series by J. L. Bourne. This book tells of what's left of the government and how they are trying to find a cure for the zombies that have taken over the planet.
It's hard to talk about this book without giving things away, especially if you haven't read the first two.
First, I'll recap by saying the first two were about a single soldier of the U.S. Military that discovered his world turned upside down by a vicious illness that turns people into zombies. He tries to survive the best he can, and makes friends along the way, making his group of survivors, bigger and bigger.
In this book, the way the stories are told changes. It's no longer just our lone survivor and his group of friends. It's also what's left of the government, special ops teams, and a few other groups that's best left out for your enjoyment of the book.
I can say, this was probably my favorite of the three since this was action packed and had lots of good ideas in it. I'm not sure so many others will like it.
I have read others reviews of it, and they mention how the ending is a bit abrupt, and that's true....It seems the ending was a bit rushed, but if there's another book in the series, perhaps that will smooth out the ending of this book. It didn't bother me, to tell the truth.
The ending leaves room for another book, of course, and after I read the end, I did need to go back and reread a few other parts. But overall, I liked the book and the series. I would easily recommend it to anyone who likes to read, or zombie stories.
4 out of 5 for originality and an enjoyable read.
