And lastly, Tahoe was dead weight - literally and figuratively - to the other characters throughout the whole story. Lucas creeped me out with the whole necro-thing. Val was the most enjoyable of all the characters for me but even she fell short - her transformation was supposed to make us believe she was suffering and losing her mind but it wasn't all that believable. Jackie and her cousin (whose name seems to have slipped my mind.yeah, she was THAT memorable) whined a lot and had little to no substance to them (other than pretty faces and a bit of the "damsels-in-distress" syndrome). Dean grated on my nerves and had very little character developement. Throw in some really bad dialog and a handful of okay action scenes and you have the entirety of the book. Somewhere along the way the pick up a childhood friend who just so happens to go ga-ga over the big sis whose flesh is beginning to rot off her body already. In fact, he even sleeps in a jeep through the majority of a massive zombie attack in which the smells-like-a-rotting-corpse-in-a-major-way big sis is passes out on top of him (I don't know about anyone else but that would certainly wake me up). Then you bring on a mountain man who with what - as far as I can deem from the vague description - a superficial knife wound who sleeps more than the dying big sis. Then you bring in two rather obnoxious super-model-types and, of course, the guys go ga-ga for them. So you take two brothers and their zombie infected, long-lost sister and you send them on a mission to save her.
