Not as scary as blurb suggests

Creepy but over described

I enjoyed this book overall, the blurb makes the villain seem a lot more threatening than he actually is, not that there aren't some gross parts. The plot was interesting and I like how it dealt with a unique disease.

The scene was set quite well early on but I think more could have been done to elicit this throughout the book.

I liked the main detective and the psychologist, I could see a sequel in the future with the usual love hate relationship emerging between them.

There were a few instances where the story was a little unbelievable, particularly around the flooring scene. Plus some of the facts of the case are happened upon and theories are very much close to the truth.

Kudos

Fair play, Korea does not fuck about when it comes to zombies.
Train to Busan is a proper ride from start to finish. Its action is well paced, unrelenting when it's happening, and the quieter moments are brimming with wonderful character building, as well as some horribly tense scenes to keep things moving.
The zombies themselves are pretty full on, breaking their own bones to get where they need to go, not even eating people, just biting and moving on, spreading the disease, in all their scary ass rabid-ness.
The train setting that takes up the majority of the runtime is claustrophobic as hell, and gives the movie a unique feel.
Overall, Train to Busan is a film that proves that the zombie genre isn't as tired as one might think. Extra points for nearly making me cry during the homestretch.
