Zone One by Colson WhiteheadMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Well, well. Proof positive that a zombie novel can be made yawningly boring.
Colson Whitehead has all the requisite apocalyptic-survivor-zombie elements but chooses to mash together flashbacks and current action with so much thinking and reflection that he manages to turn it all into bland, grey mush. Or wait ... was that my brain after I got done reading this? Even the end, which was supposed to be striking and should have been, was greeted with a shrug by this reader. Stick to World War Z or The Reapers Are the Angels.
Enter Zone One at your own risk ... and don't say I didn't warn ya!
