Book: Zone One

Zone One by Colson Whitehead

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book was something you don't see every day: a zombie novel you don't have to feel ashamed about reading. Of course, the literary bent also meant that the story was non-linear, metaphor was everywhere (hell, the whole book may have been a metaphor for the waste of modern American civilization), and occasionally you find yourself slogging through the prose. However, the book goes beyond 3 stars for 2 reasons: 1, Connecticut was the worst hellhole of the hellholes, and 2, the final destruction all came about because of public relations and marketing people, who I am firmly convinced are Satan's minions on earth.
