Although I am well aware all post apocalyptic fiction is just that - fiction- this story was to the point of ridiculous. Characters were unlikeable, unbelievable and I was glad when I could finally toss this book in the Value Village pile.

I read this after reading "the Help" and I found this book much better, more complex, darker in all the right spots, and a great exciting ending. I really enjoyed this book.

This book literally changed our lives. After struggling with a strong willed 3 1/2 year old boy, my husband and I were at our wits end. I bought this book and devoured it, we started implementing the ideas and suggestions and right away we saw a difference. We still have our tough days, but this book helped us see where we as the parents were making the mistakes and how to correct them, which in turn makes the child much easier to handle. It's definitley made a change in our household! If you find yourself blowing up and yelling at your kids and then feeling guilty and beating yourself up afterwards and want to break that cycle, then this book is for you!

I bought this book based on a recommendation by Amazon and one review...BIG mistake. I found this book silly, immature and childish, the story line unbelievable, the characters one dimensional, unlikable and unintersting. In my opinion, this book was a huge waste of my time.

After reading this book, I think I'm safe to say "Move over, Stephen King! Your son has definitely inherited the knack for story telling, and I would even venture to say I think he might be better!"
Thouroughly enjoyed this book, if horror is your thing, you will not be disappointed!

I'm right in the middle of this book and so far I'm loving it! Very exciting and interesting. This is the second Dan Simmons novel I've read and both are fantastic! Very well written and different from the mainstream.

I'm a big fan of King and Koontz and Hill, but I've never been a big fan of zombies. Regardless, I thought I'd give this book a try. The first story was fantastic, but the further I got into the book, the more I was repulsed. There were too many sex with dead people stories in this book for my liking. Ew. But I guess thats goes along with zombies, so I can't really blame anyone but myself for picking this book up. I couldn't even finish it.
If you like zombies and everything that goes with them, then you may like this book. Myself, I just found it stomach turning.

I thought if Stephen King edited this, it HAD to be good. WRONG! These were the most boring short stories I ever read...I couldn't even finish this book, it was that dull. SKIP IT!!!

This book is a great read! If you are interested in post-apocalypse stories, this is a must have!!! Do not miss out on this one! Every story has a different flavour but they are all delicious! Dig in!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well written, descriptive, scary, just what you would expect from Mr. King.
