the 5 books were ok. not as bad as some reviews say. alot of the books felt like parts got cut out, and left on the editor floor. I got lost a few times, as it bounces from character to character, book 5 is the worst. book 3 is the weakest. the last 2 books feel rushed and the last just dumps the main plot on you. and it could have done with out all the references to his other books. interesting twist on the zombies, I will give him that.
