I'm an atheist, so I really had to suspend disbelief when reading this novel, for reasons that should be obvious very early on. People long dead returning to life? In different locations? And they're now alive? Weren't they EMBALMED? Perhaps a miracle like that would be more believable to someone more spiritual than I. I'm sure it would, with all of the religious and spiritual references.

I am however quite open-minded, and despite its far-fetched premise, the writing was solid. The characters rich and believable. Writing so smooth and comfortable, that I hungrily gobbled up the novel in the span of mere days.

This is not a zombie book. Which is unfortunate, actually, because a zombie apocalypse is more believable than what happens in this novel. This is a book I'm glad I read, and one that I will not quickly forget.

Point off for the ridiculousness of the plot.
