Review: Overall I thought this book was a great second book in the series. My biggest complaint about the first book was that Stark was a thoroughly unlikable person with anger management issues. It didn't really seem like his attitude and personality were scaled back that much, but that little bit really helped a lot.

I liked some of the developments that occurred in the book - especially towards lining up the next show down between Stark and Mason. I liked all the different types of zombies as well. The changes in Stark that start halfway through the book were great as well.

I didn't care for what happened with Aelita and the Golden Vigil. It seemed immature and unnecessary for the story.

Spoiler Alert:

When Aelita revealed that she had realized that God had abandoned everyone and that it was necessary for her to go kill God and take his place, I just rolled my eyes. Not that I can think of any other book off hand that did that, but it just seems so cliched for some reason.

End Spoiler Alert

This biggest thing I disliked in this book was that the ending was anti-climatic. The book was building up the bad guys and building up the Zombie Apocalypse and then *poof* everything's taken care of. I still not certain why the bad guys were doing what they were doing either.

Overall a good book, though the ending doesn't live up to the rest of the book.
