Zone One Reaction pt 2.

After surviving all of the endless rambling and reminiscing, which I find extremely hard to read through but still significant, I have come to find myself indifferent about this book. I'm not quite favoring any character, although usually, I'm immediately attached to the main character. I wonder if the author does this on purpose, it feels like he does to create a sense of being lost, or hopelessness. Caitlyn we haven't learned much about still, yet she is leader. I find it interesting and related to our class theme of gender roles, how the two teams Nova and Omega are lead by women. I find this interesting because I am doing my exploratory essay on a topic of gender roles. In every other zombie movie or book, men take the lead role, no matter what it be. Driver, killer, leader. But here we see equality for the most part, distributed among the living, all working together to bring this shambled city back to life. My favorite thing about this book so far is the abstract qualities that stray away from typical zombie-genre stereotypes. Such as the women leaders, practically functioning government, and stagnant skels. The unique aspects make the rambling worth reading through.
