Rot and Ruin: Quoted Passage

"A few of the zombies staggered after them, but the fence runners banged on the drums again, and the zombies, incapable of holding on to more than one reaction at a time, turned back toward the noise. The Imura brothers vanished into the shadows under the trees." (Rot and Ruin, pg. 47)

Finally, the reason we all picked up this book. Zombie action! It only took the author 47 pages to get to the real action in the book too, so if you like a slow moving book then this is definitely not for you! The action finally begins as the Imura brothers go out to explore the Rot and Ruin. This passage is almost like the introduction to the rest of the book it seems like, that is why I had to post about it. Benny is finally going to get to experience and learn about the other side of the fence in the Rot and Ruin. What will Benny Imura discover in his adventures with his brother?

Rot and Ruin

It is always a difficult task when it comes to picking a good book, especially when there are so many good books out there. One very good suggestion that I can give you is the book Rot and Ruin. Rot and Ruin, written by Jonathan Meberry, would definitely be a good book for anyone who loves a good zombie story! I am only on chapter five and I am already hooked on it! The main character in this book is Benny Imura; however, the story is not told from his point of view, it is told from the point of view of the narrator. Benny lives in a time where food is rationed and limited. Their government has stated that if they don't find a job by a certain time period then their food rations will be cut in half. Benny chooses to go to work with his brother as a zombie hunter, but he finds that it isn't what he expected. You should get a copy of this book and read it. You won't be able to put it down!
