Humans won the war against the zombies within a few months and everything is getting back to normal. Cell phones, coffee, fast food, and for Rip, back to boring life as a customer service agent.

But during the apocalypse, Rip was the leader of a small group who had taken shelter in the Lazy River water park, because these zombies wouldn't cross water.

He wants that life back, no matter the cost.

Not too bad of a read, the back and forth between past and present were separated enough that it didn't give me whiplash. Blood, gore, guts, beheadings; it is a zombie story after all, and there was one 'adult' scene so this book isn't for readers under 16, as long as they're a mature 16.

There were referrals of our society, their addiction to coffee, fast food, cell phones/social media, video games, and of course the destruction of the environment. And how we went right back to those things as soon as we could, acting as if nothing happen.

Another warning for those extra sensitive people, this book did contain humor that some would be offended by, but it was humor between friends, not intended to be racist or anything like that, just humor between friends. There were other humorous parts, but not as many as I thought there would be, but there were times I 'snorted' or giggled. The author's portrayal was spot on, and seems as if not a fan of Trump, and (even though I'm not a fan) Grassely as the president who kicked ass, go Iowa!
