>expecting anything with zombies to make sense

Any zombie apocalypse is inherently illogical. A disease that's not airborne, not spread through bodily fluids in the traditional way, but spread through biting has no chance of spreading. When was the last time you heard about a rabies epidemic? How do you get from patient zero to most of the human population?

Zombies are people without the ability to think strategically or defend themselves. Even if they're the new running zombies how can they defeat even a small military squad? You just need some riot shields and one guy with a gun and the zombie menace is over.

Pretty sure Brooks set out to sell a lot of copies. He appears to have done exactly that, so critiquing his work this way is like making a thread about how you don't think Big Bang Theory is as good as Synecdoche, New York.

This. The whole "super serious grounded in reality" zombie apocalypse thing is a terrible meme genre that makes no sense when you actually think about it for five seconds.

It's as retarded as "hard" scifi in that autistic nerds want to read something "serious" even though their genre is a little more than a vehicle for shitty pulp authors to write space fantasies.

>French have to atone for their terrible WW2 reputation by dying heroically
was Brooks hanging out with my drunk uncle when he wrote this?

>Incompetence of the American military

If you ever served you'd know that's true.

You read zombie books for the dumb moments and the raw fun of it. If you can't get any from it then it's basically a pointless book to read since you won't enjoy it.

Better then the Canadians at least. I've heard men there talk about having to ducktape their packs together and basically being trained to spray and pray.

a brilliant analysis by one of our finest minds

Meh i thought it was okay. It reminded me of Day of the Triffids in terms of tone.

gasp

why didn't they us artillery?

Y'all know this is copypasta right?

Right?

I'm not that familiar with zombie settings, but how does this compare to the Manel Loureiro's books?
