A good level of action, but not quite as non-stop as Jim's First Day. Early on, a good portion was devoted to Karen's neighbors, but it fit in nicely. I liked the first book a bit better, but this was still a very good book. It does stand on its own, without needing to read the first book. ( )

So far, I've read the first two books in the Infected series. Book 1 followed Jim as the Apocolypse began and in his quest to get across town and hook up with his family. In book 2, his wife, Karen, is home with her two children awaiting Jim's arrival. She, too, has her hands full and does everything possible to keep them all safe. Their neighbor, Cliff, who lives upstairs, uses leftover material to barricade his apartment against the horde of zombies; they each have their own adventures as Cliff travels to the senior home to rescue his mother, and then his wife teams up with Karen to rescue a small child and return her to her home and family within the complex.

Karen's brother soon arrives to help in the battles - both leave with the children and travel to Karen's mother's home before Jim gets home; a surprise awaiting them upon their arrival.

All in all, I feel that this installment was better written than book one and kept my interest intact. I will be starting the next book in the series where Jim and his group travel to Karen's mother's home to rejoin the family. So far, I'd recommend both books in the series. Joe Zuko does an excellent job at describing the scenes and fighting - making readers believe they are standing right there with the characters. Great job! ( )

I like this more than the first book, very interesting plot , good characters in this second book of the trilogy. Not only splat and gore but very funny dialogues. .

Bello!!!!! Lo consiglio assolutamente!!! Tanta azione e scene splatter ma anche molte battute ironiche.....storia trilogia zombie non pigliata dalla solita minestra....
