- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A good read, but really depressing. Our survivors from book one are on the run from the zombies, but survival does not look good. Realistic ending, but rough. Characters are great. I am glad that I read it though, if only to have resolution from the Rising.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5*SPOILER ALERT*This was a pretty good book. I am not one to think every book has to have a happy ending, but to have every major character die in the last 5 pages is a bit much. Especially after reading about them for 2 books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While I described the first book in the series as a “good corny”, this book took a few scenes from the “bad corny” handbook. The book continues the story of Jim Thurmond and his search for his son. The story contains the same main characters, and adds a few more. The core story is still there, and if you liked the first book you will like the second book. However, while the first book hung on to a somewhat respectable read…this one does not. I feel like Keene simply banged out a second book after the success of the first. The discussion scenes are horrendous, but the detail is still there. If you read the first one, just keep on trucking to the second. Don’t expect the same type of read though.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was a powerhouse of action. You hardly had a moment to catch your breath in between the attacks and battles. As fun as the first one, The Rising, but even more brutal and graphic. Full of good characters fighting the good fight, and with a healthy dose of unscrupulous and mentally unstable characters alike, you never know what's going to happen next.This book picks up where The Rising left off. Jim has just made it to his son's home, and the zombies are closing in outside. The book opens at the home of his ex-wife, while you wait to learn whether or not Danny is found alive and whether they make it out alive, and it ends at the Ramsey Towers in New York, where survivors are holed up against the zombies milling around outside.One thing I should note: This book is not suitable for children. It is extremely violent, vulgar and there are many moments of graphic sexuality, including zombie sex and multiple accounts of genital mutilation. Please be forewarned.Overall a fun story, but a little sad and depressing at times.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow-What a thrill ride. Lots of action & Scares... and terrific characters that you learn to love. This is a great sequel to THE RISING. Loved the ending, not a false note here. I can honestly say, Keene is the new face of Horror. I can't wait to read all of his novels.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Zombies, Zombies, and more Zombies. This is the second and final book in his Zombie’s that can think for themselves series. I loved the ending….not often do you see its kind.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brian Keene is one of my favorite authors, and this was the first novel of his that I read. I realize now that it is a sequel, but it stood up equally well as a stand alone book. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good scare.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing! One of my favorites!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5the sequel to "the rising". while not quite as good as "the rising", it was a very enjoyable read. i would highly recommend this title to anyone who loves horror and zombies in particular.
