5.0 out of 5 stars Great Characters and gore galore, August 20, 2010

This review is from: The Turning: A Story of the Living Dead (Paperback)

Kelly Hudson's first novel is a great romp through the Bay Area involving Zombies, gore and the worst villians, the living. Being from the Bay Area, I loved the emphasis on the locations and enjoyed the development of the characters Jeff and Jenny. Some great close calls with the undead and graphic details which gave me pause. Just how I like it.

This was a surprisingly good read. I enjoy zombie literature and read many novels in the genre. The Turning was much better than expected. Very grisly and gritty (even for this genre) but the story is interesting and takes some unexpected turns. The main character grows on you as he struggles to survive a zombie apocalypse. This was one of the better zombie novels I have read recently and I recommend it.

Not a perfect book, but it really kept me reading. I truly wanted to find out what happened to the people involved (in my opinion, that's a keeper!) Somewhat simplified, it still rang true and wasn't boring in the least. Shows how love can turn even a milquetoast into a hero! Plus, it had an added character I didn't expect in a zombie novel!
