Well, it’s been a week, and though my copy is still in the bag, I’m sure many of you have finished it by now. (James has — and writes about it on his Livejournal — but considering the forensic evidence, above, he may not be trustworthy.) Register your vote below the cut.

Picked it up yesterday evening and finished it very, very early this morning. Good, quick read that benefits from it’s smaller page-length in most respects. I would have liked to see the virus explored a little bit more though, if only to clear up some of the confusion that arises around it from the little bits of (occasionally contradictory) information that we do get, but otherwise it was a thoroughly enjoyable zombie story.

LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!
It was horrifying, gorey, thought-provoking, terrifying, and in the right parts funny.
I couldn’t put the book down! I can’t wait to see what Joe does with the prequel!
BTW, for those of you who are interested, I interviewed Joe about the book here on Starwars.com if you want to read it:

there’s going to be a prequel? woohoo!
@Bonnie – i enjoyed your interview, although i’m glad i read the book prior to reading your interview… too much spoilery stuff!
@Jawastew: i don’t think they bit me, i just decided to blend in so they didn’t realize i wasn’t infected.

Honestly, it seemed like the same premise for thousands of other horror novels: ZOMBIES!!! A bit of a scientific twist, but they could have done something truly original! EVERYONE uses zombies. You’d think a fictional universe as big as StarWars could have come up with something better. Still, it was an alright book. Meh.
