It was hard to get the image of London ‘razed’ to the ground out of your mind after reading this novel. Although we didn’t get chance to connect with the characters we met, most were eaten and reanimated, UK readers felt connected to the description of their country the landmarks of London were described vividly, for example. By the end of the novel it was clear the virus had taken hold all over the world. I can’t really fault it the story progressed well with the virus, and material, starting in London then spreading through the UK and out to Europe and the USA. I already have the sequel on my Amazon wish-list, the first was just so good.The story is told through text messages, emails, tweets, blogs, transcripts and so on and details the path of destruction the plague virus causes when the infected dead reanimate and become ‘zombies’ feeding on the living and turning them into the undead, too.I’m finding it difficult to review this book, or even to rate it, because it is so different to anything. But my love of Zombies made me pick it up in the charity book-store I work in and I’m glad I did. Review 1: *This review may contain spoilers*Stephen Jones is an English editor of a number of horror anthologies and is also the author of “Zombie Apocalypse ” a mosaic style of novel.Zombie Apocalypse is unlike anything I’ve read before.
