Not only was The Last Days listed among a lot of excellent novels, it was one of the highest ranked on the list. Knapp put out some of the best, most original zombie fiction in a long time. Authors like Mira Grant, Madeleine Roux, and Eloise J. Although I didn’t agree with everything on the list, I would have loved to see books like Raising Stony Mayhall or Warm Bodies on the list, I did agree with one of its main points, women totally rocked the zombie genre this year. This week, as soon as I choose The Last Days, the first book of Rhiannon Frater’s As the World Dies Zombie Apocalypse trilogy, it gets named by Barnes & Nobles as one of the best Zombie novels of 2011. Lately, it seems like when I plan my week, one of the novels I choose receives some sort of end of the year acclamation. I really don’t do much long-term planning for what I am going to listen to, but I usually have about three choices mapped out for a week. I have had a sort of End of the Year serendipity in my audiobook selections. Despite having my next few audiobook selections mapped out, I was very tempted to start the next book in the trilogy, Fighting to Survive, right away. Quick Thoughts: The First Days is an action filled, fast paced tale of a Zombie Apocalypse, that gives its props to Romero but also adds its own unique spin on the genre.
