Title: As energetic as a zombie's shuffle
Review: I dig zombie flicks. The claustrophobia, the apocalyptic end of the the world hugeness, the flight from a ravenous cannibalistic mob and the perpetual need to hole up somewhere safe. This book just glanced those themes and the "zombies" (actually just brain addled living humans) themselves turn out to be telepathic? I give credit to King for creating HIS own world of a "zombified" apocalypse but it reminded way too much of The Stand. But it wasn't a true zombie novel. The pacing was a little jerky and the characters themselves didn't really portray real human reactions to a horrific catastrophe. I wanted to be scared. I was distracted. I heard they were going to make a movie out of this already so my opinion would be to "wait for the movie".
Is the review positive or negative?
