Blackout by Mira Grant
Nov. 4th, 2013 11:34 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
The world didn’t end when the zombies came.
We just wished it had.
The conspiracy that rules post-zombie America is alive and well. The same can’t be said of the bloggers who dared to tell the truth as they found it. Now, with too much left to do and not much time left to do it in, Shaun Mason and his team must face mad scientists, zombie bears and rogue government agencies – and if there’s one thing they know is true in post-zombie America, it’s this:
Things can always get worse.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The conclusion to Mira Grant’s zombie horror trilogy is a fast-paced, roller-coaster ride that draws together the various plot strands into a satisfying conclusion. Some of the twists weren’t that surprising, the bad guys are cardboard cut-outs, Grant overwrites at times (I lost count of the number of times Shaun reminds us of his Georgia hallucinations) and the blog team are somewhat samey character-wise, but the book nevertheless held my attention from beginning to end, there are some great one-liners, one very emotional character death and there were enough zombie action scenes to keep me interested.
