When flesh eating monsters fill the streets, who can cheat death? Who among the helpless humans can survive the all you can eat buffet which is Denver? Will it be the indecisive adulterer Melvin, his wife and kids, the mistress, the National Guard?

The first 30 pages were a bit choppy in writing brief character set-up and dialog, but smoothed out nicely as the action picked up and the brains started flying. This is a very short book and a fast easy read for a few hours of bloody entertainment…(eck).....The story follows Melvin (the cheating dog) and his wife Frances in an "end of the world" zombie take-over. They and the rest of the townsfolk try and flee the city before the flesh eaters can eat them or infect them with the zombie virus. But theres no way out of the city and no where to hide.

Melvin is a cad, and I hated his character, it’s like Teel purposely wrote him to be this sham of a man having an affair and not being able to make a sound decision, he seems to gain some ground when he’s caring for his children, but everything just blows up in his face. One bad decision leads to a devastating outcome and things just go downhill from there……the whole time when I was reading from Melvin’s perspective ….I was thinking OH…I hope you get ate by the zombies you fool!!!!!!!!

Pretty much once you get going it’s just a race towards the end to see who’s going to survive and who's going to get ate. This is a zombie book so most of the characters lacked depth; it kind of gave me the same feel after I watched the movie Grindhouse, surprisingly I liked Stacy the mistress. I didnt want to like her but she was really the only character who had any smarts.

Zombies to me have always been the big dummies of the monster world, yet Teel makes them a bit scary, if you’re all jazzed up because you just read The Forest of Hands and Teeth nix everything you know about the unconsecrated because these Zombies are a non-ending mass of violence.

My favorite lines uttered by the tormented Frances and Melvin, speaking of breaking up:

Melvin:“I thought you’d want me to stay. What should I have done? Just left you with nothing? Two kids to feed and a Mortgage? You haven’t worked since you had Maddy.”

Frances: “Haven’t worked? I haven’t worked? Why do men always assume raising children and running a household isn’t work? Why can’t you appreciate all the work I’ve been doing for you, to raise your kids, to keep your house clean, all these years?”

Yeah you tell him Frances!!!!

I had a good time reading this even though I’m not a blood and guts fan, but wouldn’t recommend this for any young readers. Although there’s no sex scenes, only a couple swears it is a very gory book- the violence is off the charts and has some very disturbing scenes…but if your into the zombie thing have fun…..
