Well, the answer to the first question it "Yes!". Why should you? What makes this different than the other stories out there?First, what this isn't. It's not World War Z. I love that book. It's a heart string rending look at what the world, Post-Z, would probably look like. While this book definitely gives us a look at what the world might be like, it's less about tugging the heart strings and more about disturbing you while at the same time making you laugh.This book is also not Dawn of the Day...

I liked it. This was my first book in the Zombie genre and it did not disappoint. The characters were likeable , their relationships believable and the story was more light hearted than I thought it would be.Elsbeth was chef's kiss. She was fast , badass and everything I hope I'd be if a zombie apocalypse does occur. I loved Jace too. He always got up and kept on going no matter what happens, which , if I'm being honest is admirable, especially in a Zombie Apocalypse.This book made me laugh, whi...

Better than the average Zombie book and genuinely hilarious in parts. Non-stop action, just enough blood n' guts. Four stars.

This was a quick read, interesting and fun. The protagonist is funny, his view of the postapocalyptic world captured well in the stories first person point of view. I'm glad there's more to the series because I definitely want to read more!

I love my zombies and this series is by far my favorite. The main character is just amazingly done, cause I agree that we all need a laugh in the zombie apocalypse (something that is lost in most of todays TV show's about such cratures).The entire family is really the shining point of it all, but everyone else is also so well written that you only hate the ones you should and love the ones you know you should.It is rare that I laugh aloud during a book (I did the audiobook versions, which are AM...

Zombies, humor, cannibals, and lots of F-bombs. Sounds like a great time right? It is.

EntertainingI liked it. Well paced. Entertained without being too heavy on their battlefield/military jargon. Main character is a regular dude just trying to keep himself and his family alive. He's no hero.

I found this to be an entertaining gem in the Z genre. While it is not a truly realistic portrait of what the zombie apocalypse should look like it is a highly entertaining one. (Actually who really knows what a realistic portrait would be? Who has survived one?) I found this book to have realistic settings and plots that were presented with the dark humor I would expect may be found in an event like this. I know most people wouldn't expect that but I do. I think people are people and after the

Z-Burbia by Jake Bible: I’m so in love with this book! I will be picking up the other books in the series- and if you know me at all, you know I don’t like to spend money ever. After the zombie apocalypse, the small HOA subdivision of Whispering Pines is still holding but barely. (I don’t like to give spoilers but I will tell you just enough to entice you) They are not slow zombie or fast ones, but terrifying. One day Jace, Jon and Stuart are sent out on a mission for the HOA and then all hell b...

I read the intro for the book at the end of, “The Road to Hell is Paved with Zombies.” The blurb was enough to hook me. And then I read the book.I’ll give credit where credit is due. Overall, this is well written work. Mr. Bible will have you feeling you are in the throes of the Zombie apocalypse. His descriptions of “Whispering Pines,” Ashville, NC., and the “Farm” are realistic and believable. The action is non-stop and is sure to please the younger crowd. For those of us who are little older,...

Funny and zombielicious.

ANOTHER ZOMBIE BOOK I REALLY LOVED. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE OF THE SERIES WHEN THEY COME OUT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ELSBETH! SHE IS BAD TO THE BONE, ALTHOUGH THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY. YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN IF YOU READ THE BOOK! RECOMMEND TO ALL ZOMBIE FANS.

Having read a previous book by the author and pretty much hating it, I nearly deleted this one without reading it. Now I wish I had and saved myself twenty minutes where I could have been doing something else.There was another bunch of foull mouthed idiots living in a gated community with rules to protect people from the zombies outside. Even the priest or whatever he was couldn't stop swearing while having a supposed normal conversation. I think that having swearing for the sake of it with no s...

I thoroughly enjoyed Z-Burbia by Jack Bible. The story is much different from many of the other zombie books out there and focuses more on survival - years after the Z-Day of the apocalypse. Jace and his family live in a gated community managed by an association group - the leader, seemingly a dictator type woman. There is running water, electricity, fresh vegetables and meat, Wifi and other benefits available in this suburban community. Everyone contributes to the success of this community by p...

Whispering Pines was a small gated community before the zombie apocalypse. Now it's gated, barred and surrounded by razor wire. The residents are trying to keep it business as usual so the Home Owners Association is alive and well. Unfortunately, the president is a tyrant who keeps most of the residents cowed and uses her authority to further her own ends which ultimately results in chaos.So far Whispering Pines has managed to keep its residents safe and well fed. They even have working Playstat...

4.5 stars. Wow, just wow, I have no other words for this book. The book starts off and all seems normal, but then we quickly find out about the zombies, and how life totally changed for these people. Though, not that much, these people from Whispering Pines just live a relatively normal and calm life. They have power, water, they can drink tea whenever they want, play console games (yes, even that) and all in all I was at times wondering how these people will/would survive. Because it is still t...

Only my second ever zombie novel and I’m still not immune to the black blood, severed sinews, and surreptitious shuffling, but if they’re all as good as this then I can see a trend coming. High action, high tempers and high stakes, I’m noticing the zombie novel is an excellent vehicle for a examining what it is that makes us human, for looking at our humanity. Sure, zombies present a problem because typically there are a lot of them, and they’re hungry, but obviously, they’re not the real threat...

Loved it. Supremely witty/funny, with plenty of zombie action. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.

The Walking BurbsI was surprised by just how much I ended up enjoying this book. While I am a big fan of the zombie gene of movies, shows, and books, I didn't expect much from this freebie; I was pleasantly surprised. The characterization was decent (though at times pretty trite, none of the peripheral characters and even some of the main ones were never fully fleshed out) and it's clear that Bible is familiar with the terrain. The story was entertaining and I was eager to see how he would resol...

Not a bad book--strangely lighthearted entry in the zombie genre, which sets it apart. Like how most zombie books/films (the good ones at least) try to look at lens of a particular genre driven to extreme by undead apocalypse, this one sets it in a Home Owners Association. You know, I'm not sure what entity is more loathed than HOAs--the IRS maybe? NAMBLA? So I don't think I'm spoiling anything by revealing that the HOA Is not a good thing. And that I think is one of the issues I had with the bo...
