When the zombie apocalypse happens, some people won't care as much as others, people who are already facing very difficult lives. And even if being part of a small surviving group overcomes some of the mundane difficulties of life, it doesn't overcome all of them. I was totally engrossed. The back...

“This is not a test. Listen closely. This is not a test."But I think she's wrong. I think this is a test.It has to be.” Before reading this book, I wondered what the relevance of the title is.

Man, I have such mixed feelings about this book, I’m not sure where to start—so maybe with the good stuff is as good a place as any. 1.
