Date Read: April 10
Author: Colson Whitehead
Genre: Post-apocalypic Horror
Rating: 5/5
Zone One takes place months after the world falls to a zombie pandemic, and it follows a man trying to survive through the various stages of the zombie apocalypse. The book takes place over three days, but includes various flashbacks throughout. My only complaint would be that sometimes it was difficult to tell whether or not it was a flashback.
If the beings they destroyed were their own creations, and not the degraded remnants of the people described on the things’ driver’s licenses, so be it. We never see other people anyway, only the monsters we make of them.
