I didn't think it was possible to make zombies boring but this writer has managed it. Every chapter felt like a huge effort. Takes a page to write what could be said in a few sentences and uses long dull analogies to describe the most simple of things. In a word, boring.

This is one of the best post-apocalypse/zombie/survival novels I've read since last year's The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell. Lovely writing captures the dislocation, madness and loneliness of survivors as they try to rebuild their world and come to terms with all they've seen and lost. The story is told over three days in the life of a civilian "sweeper" Mark Spitz with often jarring flashbacks to his life before the plague and during his battle for survival in the wastelands.
If you're looking for page after page of gore then you will be disappointed. This is a strange, smart and haunting book that has a lot to say and it will live in the memory.

Loved this story. Certainly not what I'd expect from Colson. But very well put together, and continues to show what a wordsmith he is. Well done.

I decided to read this against my better instincts because it's a zombie book. But it's a zombie book not like other zombie books I was told. Read more

Dull urban 'Platoon' with zombies.
After checking some reviews in newspapers, Zone One sounded highly intriguing. A zombie novel leaning over into the literary section? Sure. Read more
