Zombies: A Record of the Year of Infection. by Don Roff, Chris Lane
Zombies: A Record of the Year of Infection. by Don Roff, Chris Lane | Don Roff
12 posts | 10 read | 8 to read
The year is 2011, & what starts as a pervasive illness ends up as a zombie infestation that devastates the world's population. Taking the form of an illustrated journal, this work follows biologist Dr Robert Twombly as he flees from city to countryside & heads north to Canada, where, he hopes, the living dead will be slowed by the colder climate.

This one is filled with brilliant illustrations, the writing is large print so it doesn't take long to read and can be read in one sitting.

It reads like a diary with each couple of pages covering a day.

If you're a zombie-lover like me, this is probably right up your alley.

I really liked it, it was different from anything else I've read.

Quick, easy reading.

I see authors talk about writing and I feel that there are some that would agree.

This was a fun, quick read! Recommended for the scientific angle on zombie physiology and epidemiology.

I checked out the audiobook and the ebook from my library, and it was odd and interesting how they were different from each other. The audio version is, of course, missing the drawings, but it seems to have extra description that isn't included in the ebook. The acting is good, too - I think the two versions complement each other well.

well.read.panda Thanks to @lk7575 for recommending this to me! 6y
well.read.panda Also @lk7575, I enjoyed the narrator's penchant for baked beans 😁 6y
UrsulaMonarch @well.read.panda fun! Interesting/ weird about the audiobook- I thought the illustrations were kind of cute but not particularly vital 6y
UrsulaMonarch @well.read.panda & it's reassuring there will still be some creature comforts post-zombie apocalypse 😉 6y

When your random review on Goodreads carries over to Twitter, and the author sees it, likes it, and then Retweets it. 😱

It‘s a small world and getting smaller every day!

No_One So cool! 6y

One more for #Booktober #somethingborrowed. I've had this for a couple years. When I apologized to my friend for hanging on to his book for so long, he'd forgotten not only that he'd lent it to me, but also forgot that he owned it and told me to keep it! So it's not really borrowed, I guess I own it now. Anyway, it seems like an appropriate pick for #Scaretober!
