Alice In Wonderland is my favourite story. Zombies are my new favourite genre. Naturally, I would choose this book, especially after seeing its 4 Star rating. All I can really say is, Yikes! Alice In Deadland is amateurish. The writing is SO repetitive. When I read a certain phrase or combination of words multiple times within a couple of pages, you've already lost me.

There is no intrigue in this story. I consider myself a trooper when it comes to books. I give them all a fair shake and rarely force myself to stop reading - in for a penny... - but this read is taxing. No plot or character development AT ALL. The phrasing is just weird, the grammar sucks, there are a ton of typos. And if you want your zombies to be sympathetic characters, give them at least one redeeming quality! Don't just tell your audience that everyone's equal, so there. Make us want to like them. Example: Hater, by David Moody. This story is told from the perspective of the changed and the unchanged. While not exactly a zombie story, you do find yourself having compassion for the "others".

All that being said, the one thing I find unforgivable in a published novel is lack of research. If you've taken the time to write a novel, do yourself a favor and have the story make sense. Check your facts, however minor to the plot they might seem. The story needs to be logical, not just convenient and easy.

Having read the first in the series What Zombies Fear, I had to have the Maxists. It did not disappoint. The story continues and keeps up the intrigue. New characters show up; both good and bad. I plan to keep following this one until the end; which I hope is a long time from now. The story is too good to end soon. I recommend this book as much as the first one!
