Who has read the Hugh Howey zombie books? Or just one book?
I don't know the titles. I'm very hesitant to read a book about zombies. But I loved the Wool books, and therefore I'm willing to consider this book or books, if someone who doesn't generally like zombie books tells me it's as awesome as the Wool books.

If it gnaws on your brain, then its just gotta be a good zombie book.

Come one, now: Be consumed. Be a consumer.

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.

And the story is not your ordinary zombie novel. A zombie novel from the zombie's point of view.

I would have warned you away from the book, but it appears I'm too late!

You mean the pages are all blank?

Any answer to that would be a spoiler (although a minor one as you find it out soon enough in the book).

Im reading it now, its very visceral.

I recently read all of the Wool books, the Molly Ffyde books and the Hurricane and they are all good. I, Zombie is quite different - its quite brutal really, but I am enjoying it.

Haven't read the zombie book and probably won't, but Half Way Home was great.
