Book Blog (out of America) "Rot and Ruin"

"Rot And Ruin" By: Jonathan Maberry (464 pages)

Rot and ruin is about when the zombie infestation takes over the United State and everywhere else on the planet at least thats what the people in the book think because there is absolutely no way to know for sure. People can pay zombie hunters go out and find relatives that are now zombies to "kill" them ( their already dead but like make it to where they are actually dead like not a zombie). Each zombie these hunters kill they get a profit. Everyone lives in cities, the cities have tall fences the surround the whole city to keep the zombies out. The infection started on the "first night" the main character Benny's parents were turned on the "first night" giving him a hatred towards zombies like most other people in the community until Benny's older brother Tom (zombie hunter) explains how it actually is that all the zombies were once people. Before Benny learns the truth about ever thing he is amused by Charlie and Hammers Story's of how they killed zombies in such. After Benny learns the truth is he going to take the family job of zombie hunting or leave that to his older brother?

      So, in my opinion this is an amazing book there is so much going on and its never boring. The is conflict man vs. self & man vs zombie (i don't know what category that would be considered because zombies are people but their not alive so, what category would you think?). Anyway this book has so much going on and i love it because it has so many things that make you think like when Benny's brother Tom is explaining to Benny about how zombies were once people, and how its still not right even though their dead to torture them like how Charlie and Hammer do, and how these zombies were once part of someone's family it really changes perspective. In the start of the book I was thinking like Benny, "why don't they just kill the zombies?" but after tom said those things it really made me think different about the whole thing. Anyway its amazing and i definitely think if you like fast pace books with lots of action you should read it.
