Pastor Snyder and his son, the local sheriff, were vile, and I hated them with a vengeance.Even though "Dread Nation" was a lot of fun, it also dealt with some serious issues including racism and slavery, and the author did a wonderful job creating a very entertaining, believable alternate history, and I can't wait to see what adventures Justina Ireland has next for Jane and Katherine.
However, there were some truly evil characters in this book as well, and I'm not talking about the undead. The dialogue between her and Jane often had me laughing out loud, and the development of their relationship was one of the book's highlights.The secondary characters were just as likeable including Duchess, Gideon and Red Jack. At the start she annoyed me with her prissiness, but she ended up being a fabulous character and a loyal friend. Not only was she a Negro, she was also intelligent, stubborn, sarcastic and a fighter. I was hooked from the first page and just wanted to keep reading until I reached the last one.Action-packed, with a great storyline, and set at the end of the American Civil War, this was one epic read.
When I found out it was about zombies, I was reluctant to read it, but I am so glad I did. Well, "Dread Nation" was a pleasant surprise.
