Book Review: Deadline


Deadline by Mira Grant

Welcome to a world that was invaded by zombies decades ago. Now zombies are one of life's daily hazards. Most people live in fear of contamination; many rarely go outside of their homes unless absolutely necessary. Blood tests and showers laced with bleach are everyday experiences. A select few 'Irwins' make their living by 'poking the zombies with sticks' and blogging for all the world to read.

Deadline focuses on Shaun Mason and his team of After the End Times bloggers. The team runs afoul of the CDC and are left to figure out their next course of action. We follow them on adventures into the dangerous world of zombie hunting and mystery solving. Its like Scooby-Doo with zombies.

The follow up to Grant's Feed, Deadline is just as much of a page turner. While it may not earn any great literary awards, Deadline is a thrilling read. Often humourous and grim in the same breath, this book is recommended if you like zombies and action.

Thumbs up!
