The premise of this story sounded amazing to me and I knew I had to read about these characters. I personally found it hard to relate to any of the characters. However, I don't think it really determined how well I liked the book. I thought the information was great, the story was great, the character progression was really well thought out. I loved the last 1/3 of the book. Walton was really on point with all the feels and the emotions. I would have 5 stared this book if she could have carried that emotion throughout the whole read. I didn't feel really invested in the characters until everything was about to fall apart.

The part of this book that held me back was that it was supposed to be written in journal entries to his therapist, but it didn't feel like journal entries to me. There was dialogue in the "journal entries". The entries were also too methodical and thought out for me. I was expecting more of a stream of consciousness kind of journal entry. I think this would have been just as effective if it was just a story from Adam's perspective.

This is definitely a different kind of book, and I'm very glad that I read it. I would recommend reading it if you're even just a little bit curious.

I liked this book because it was different to anything else I have read about Zombies. It comes from a completely different perspective; to be precise a medical journal.
Even though I knew this was a journal I still expected some more brutal Zombie action...as Zombies are brutal. There was little action in this but the artwork was nice and detailed.
To be completely honest, it became way too scientific for me which meant the majority of the explanations went over my head and it became boring fairly quickly.
If you're into Zombies strictly from a very medical/scientific point of view then definitely read this.

The book is written as a series of reports, audio transcripts and journal entries, I've never read a book written this was but it really does pull you in and sucks you into you in the discovery of the "giant" and how it affects the various protagonists throughout.
