zone one pt 3

It was really interesting to see Mark finally warm up to someone and give his obituary to Mim. Mim was a very dynamic character and it was disappointing when she never returned from the pepper run. The story seems to be moving at the same rhythm, developing the characters through flashbacks and conversation. Although the character development and flashbacks are beautifully detailed, and necessary for the reader to understand the story, I find myself a little bored with the slow pace. None the less, Whitehead takes on the three-day timeline logically. The last part of the chapter was pretty intense and exciting though, so that was a nice change. We have read some pretty gruesome skel kills already, but Mark's glory moment on the car was bad ass! I feel like this scene is preparing us for a really dramatic ending perhaps. I sure hope there is more action like this!
