The characters are all well developed and some of them, mostly the bikers, were entertaining to read. The characters only flaws were the frivolous and sometimes childish conversations they would have with one another. Although the dialogue lacks depth the gore and state of decay of the zombie hordes that constantly surround the characters are described with excellent detail. The various states of rot and mutilation that the zombies were in were always amusing. Especially in the beginning of the story when people are first starting to turn. As in the title the disease that spreads puts people into a state of complete euphoria where they have a single minded desire to, essentially, party until they die. Once they die they have a ravenous hunger for flesh, but their earlier state of non-stop party leaves them in various states of indecency. Which is interesting and humorous in its concept and execution.
This is a great zombie horror tale, but it’s also a story of survival as it starts to dig into the nuts and bolts of living in a post-apocalyptic world. This is good and bad at times as the drama and character driven story, although engaging, is constantly broken up by long bits of technical development of the characters living situation; scavenging, fortifying a building, building an elevator. This is a fine addition to the zombie genre and I wouldn’t mind reading the next book in the Z series.
