No trauma is present when kids and adults see flying torsos and dead zombies holding their guts, trying to claw their faces off. The only emotion this book gives characters is when they say farewell to one another and when King passes off their horror and disgust with simple confusion. The characters are forgettable and lack any sort of qualities you'd expect in a zombie apocalypse book (characters that bond share or antagonise one another because they have no choice in order to survive). It leads up to a very confused, unfulfilling and frustrating ending with absolutely no resolution and out of the blue, 1 in a million even happening. Plot falls next to wool-gathering prose whereby nothing actually happens. And I have to be honest, I'm very disappointed that this was the first novel by King I have been introduced to and here's why. I'm not well versed in apocalyptic fiction, having read only a few.
I hadn't, despite owning this and Mr Mercedes for many years now. As a bookworm, Lit graduate and an English teacher, I ought to have read a King novel by now.
