I wasn't real impressed by this story. This is my 2nd bizarro book and at the same time my 2nd Carlton Mellick book. I enjoyed the first book I read of his called The Cannibals of Candyland. This one, not so much. It was like a cross between Hunger Games and Running Man with zombies in it. Sounds cool but there was not a lot of originality to it. I really didn't care for a whole lot of the characters either. I mostly liked reading about the Merc Punks, Laurence and Scavy. The others were just okay.
I don't mind reading stuff that is gross, dark or horrid to an extent. I have a high tolerance for most part. This book went a little over the tolerance level for me though. I do not care to read about pedophilia or incest. That is probably were I draw the line and wished it was kept out of this book. With that and the mediocre story line, and not too enjoyable characters I would have to say the book is just okay. Based on Mellick's other book I read, I am willing to read more from this author
