IT STARTS OFF SO INNOCENTLY IS WHAT I'M SAYING. A father and son go down to the flooded city and then BAM. Hell is breaking all the fuck loose. I think that's why it is as terrifying as it is: there is no sensationalism to be found in the stories of these people. By focusing on the ordinary folks, the realities we as a race would face in such a crisis, Brooks makes it so very plausible. There is no "they die of starvation" like in 28 Days Later (though I love that movie like a burning thing). They freeze in winter? Come spring, you're going to have a whole buttload of reanimated zombies on your hands. Or the one girl's story about her family's escape to Canada - AGAIN TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE.

Seriously, this book = AWESOME.
