I thought it was very well written, with Howey's insightful take on events giving it a realism that I find intriguing. A warning though, I am not often "grossed out" by writing any more, but there were a number of scenes which I was wincing at - Howey managed to shock me more than once.
Thanks. I heard a sample of Hugh reading out one section and it was pretty much a gross out, but from the reading, the perspective of the story was obvious and that interested me so it went onto my TBR (despite being a book about zombies). Glad you liked it.
