Hard raw action. Love it. If you want to read what the book is about, read the 1st few chapters. The afflicted series is raw. How good is a book? The stars given, in my opinion, gives the best indication for it is per individual, not like movie reviews where one individual or a few, rates a movie really bad yet the masses love it. For me it is all about the feelings ideas fantasies and "living it and " a book gives you, when you "get" into the story, it having grabbing your attention. THOSE are the best books in my opinion. Good book. I don't usually write much because I am not a writer but I did enjoy this series and will get the next one. If you like zombie stories this is one you read. You have to read this book!
