Another review adds:

I enjoyed the last days of jericho so much I decided to try this book out as well. I loved it!!

I haven't read too many historical fictions, I don't care for them much. Now that I have read these two by this author my tastes have changed, and I have also gotten more intersted in ancient history.

This story in particular is a refreshing change from the usual zombie fiction, which I enjoy, but have read so many of them they have become cliched. Zombies seem scarier when presented in a differant context. The authors use of footnoted facts added a bit of authenticity to an age old topic.

My only complaint is that the number of footnotes seemed exessive and slightly interupted my reading. On the other hand, I found those notes to be interesting as well, so no rating points were deducted.
