Who will be around when the end of the world comes? This question was answered for one man when he found himself alone in a world of zombies. Fighting for survival, fighting for every bit of food he could find, he was still alive. But he was alone, and he was lonely.
Yes, there were other survivors, but they were few and far between, and he just didn’t trust them. After all, they were trying to survive too.
Then along comes this huge stranger, and he finally makes a friend. They don’t talk much, but the company is nice. And they protect each other.
Jason Brant put plenty of twists and turns in this zombie tale. Big Bob is tale of survival, but it is came across to me as more of a tale of friendship. And think about it, if the world was full of zombies set on eating you, friendship would be rather important.
The short time I spent reading this story was time well spent. The awesome twist at the end left me a bit speechless. Maybe I should have seen it coming, but I didn’t. If you read this story, maybe you will see it coming, or maybe you won’t. Either way, if you enjoy zombie tales, this is one you will never forget. It might even make you cry.
