Give it a Shot


Hello All,
I'm not usually one to push my personal preferences regarding reading material on others, however I am going to suggest this to you. Its not a fictional novel or a non-fictional novel covering some important aspect of life or event or anything of that nature. Its a comic book and its excellent. Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead. If you liked 28 Days Later or 28 Weeks Later (and if you haven't seen these movies I also suggest you watch those too), you'll like this book. Not following the typical "zombie story" structure (if there is one), this book deals more with how fucked up the situation truly is and how it can drive people to do things they wouldn't normally do. Its a really good read, and quick to get through each book (again, its a comic book so 1 book consists of about 25 - 28 pages).

Heres a quick Wikipedia blurb about the plot:
The Walking Dead is centered around a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky, his family, and a number of other survivors who have banded together in order to survive after the world is overrun with zombies. As the series progresses, the characters become more developed, and their personalities shift under the stress of a zombie apocalypse. Fighting growing despair — and occasionally each other — the group searches for a secure location which they can finally call home. The lives of these survivors will be changed forever.

Give it a shot.
