Zone One Reaction

I thought the book started extremely slow with a fuzzy transition from childhood to adulthood without out any explanation as to what is going on until Mike is attacked by a zombie. The over explanation and attention to petty details can be nice in some stories but in this cause it it really distracted from what was happen and I found myself bored and wanting to skip ahead. The character started extremely bland with the only one having any personality at all in the first 30 pages being Gary and that was mainly because of a grin. So far I am unimpressed with the book and hope it can redeem itself in the chapters to come. So far it remind me of Lord of the Flies and I did NOT enjoy that book at all.
