Adaptation

[Adaptation] by Zach Bohannon the second volume of a 5 part zombie series. I was in the mood for something light and action filled so I picked this one up. It was exactly what I was looking for. The various groups that I followed in the first book have come together but one group was not looking for friends but for weapons. After killing a few innocents they left for their camp, leaving the survivors to plan how to get revenge and rescue Dylan, the small boy that they took.

While this was a fairly typical zombie story with good guys, bad guys and zombies, I enjoyed the quick read. In this series the zombies are called empties but they certainly supply plenty of action as they are driven by a need for human flesh. Ending the book with a show more cliff-hanger ensured that I immediately reached for book #3 which I am currently reading and I suspect that I will be compulsively reading all 5 of these books in short order.

Much like a roller coaster, the author deals out high highs and low lows but I am totally hooked now and need to keep reading. show less

I received an early copy of Adaptation to read, and found that Bohannon did a stellar job of following up the first installment in the Empty Bodies series. This was a fast-paced sequel that did a phenomenal job of following up on the characters who readers grew so attached to in Book 1, and then sweeping readers along for a twisting plot forward.

The one warning is that readers probably won't want to jump into this one without reading the Empty Bodies 1, so if you've just stumbled onto Bohannon's work and are thinking about reading this one first, just order books 1 and 2 at once so that you can get to know the characters and what's going on in Book 1 before jumping into this story :)

On the whole, the book is a lot of fun, so if show more post-apocalyptic action or horror is in your alley of interest, with or without zombies, I absolutely recommend it! show less
