This affected a bit the flow of the story. In two occasions, Millikin uses the adjective rickety to refer to the legs of two different characters. I found the writing a bit repetitive and clanky. My favorite part is the one about the two kids, and when they meet the Sheriff and they realize how bad the situation is.
The audiobook is just over six hours long, so there is not a lot of time to get into details. The characters are not especially developed, but I don’t find that strictly necessary for this kind of book. There is a little exposition at the beginning about how events started to happen and then we are immediately thrown into the middle of the action. The main characters are the Sheriff and two little kids. This is the story of how this event affects the people of a small town. The dead are rising everywhere and nobody knows why.
The world has ended and soon they will learn that all they need to survive is each other. Two brothers struggle to make sense of this new world, traveling through the putrid remains of their beloved town-torn between survival and the love their mother. In the Northern California town of Red Bluff, a Sheriff struggles to grasp this strange and hellish turn of events that have ravaged his small town and maintain order as it all falls apart. Over the course of a few short hours the world was lost. No one knew the reasons why but across the globe, millions of the recently deceased rose from the dead, possessed with one singular goal: To eat the flesh of the living. When the world ended some people believed that it was the fault of a failed space probe, others-an act of vengeance from an angry God.
