Oh, no doubt, there's questions raised that are not answered, but I know it's a series, so I'm reserving MOST of my judgment in that regard. However, her commentary on the fences didn't strike me as wholly accurate: it was my interpretation that the fences are made of a metal material, and I'm 99% sure that Mary mentions they had extra to repair the fences, which made me think that's how they expanded. The other questions raised about how planned and prepared this village was I think ties into the Sisterhood and the secrets they were keeping, and that answer isn't in the book, not by a long shot. I hope we learn more in later books.
The prose is worth the read. She's right that it's a rather literary take on zombies, and while the focus may not be where everyone wants it (I agree the ending is a wee bit abrupt), it's worth the read. You may want to find it at your library if you're having doubts though, but I'd say, give it a go. :)
Did you read the spoiler section of my review? That might help you decide if the problems of the book are going to get to you or not. :)
No, I didn't read the spoiler section, although I have now. An unearned ending may or may not bother me; it really depends on the rest of the book. Hrm. Shelving cart at my library, so I'll wait and look for it on the shelf sometime.
I feel the prose alone is worth the read, as is the world-building itself, though there's no where near enough questions answered. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel. And if you get to read this for free, then why not? ;)
