BOOK DESCRIPTION
Hipsters. Shane hates them. They dress like artists, but they think like yuppies. They live for their trendy tech jobs, spending all their time at work. And worst of all, they drive up the cost of living in San Francisco, making it nearly impossible for people like Shane to survive.
Shane knows the hipsters well. He spends all day cleaning up after them. He’s a janitor at a video-game company, and his life revolves around his dead end job. But something strange is happening with the hipsters. They’re starting to act even weirder than normal, moaning and shuffling and trying to bite. And this is just the beginning.
Within hours, San Francisco will be plunged into a nightmare of cannibalism and murder, and Shane will find himself at the center of the storm. He’ll need to band together with a group of misfits—Castro Bears, Mexican Punks, Butch Chinese Lesbians, and Oakland Thugs—and travel through some of the City’s most famous neighborhoods, in order to survive.
San Francisco is dead. Welcome to Zombie City

This review is from: Zombie City: Episode 1 (Kindle Edition)
I stumbled about that book by coincidence and thought I give it a try. And what can I say: it was fun and entertaining which resulted in the download of the other two novels.
I love good written Zombie novels and enjoy the time when it all starts more than the apocalyptic outcome itself. And here it was all well delivered, even if the location in this novel is just a corporate building and the protagonists are not that many (speak Shane and his co-worker Terrence (who got bitten)... two cleaning people who have to deal with hipsters and.... Zombies... or Zombie Hipsters.
The setting was thrilling and very "classy", the humor is great and so is the thrill. I almost read it in one session as I did not wanna stop.That it is set in an urban environment (San Francisco) was very refreshing.
Is it a "great" book? No. But hellishly entertaining and very well written. And for that I give it 5 stars. Loved it :)
