This one didnt frustrate me nearly as much as Tremblay's other works. I really enjoyed the action scenes and definitely felt a lot of tension and suspense for the characters at points. I felt like the dismal feeling overall of everything crashing and burning around our main characters was well captured, and this book is more a sad story than entirely a zombie horror.
That said, Tremblay could have made his injection of personal politics less obtuse. I personally get the frustration with right wing conspiracy theorists, no argument there. However there was a definite, and I felt unnecessary, note of "right wing = dumb, crazy and bad" that stuck out like a sore thumb instead of blending well and subtly into the characters, setting and story.
