Summary

Our kids are no longer our future. They're our demise.

Humanity's advancements in medicine, meant to eliminate disease and extend life, have led to a macabre reality of childhood vaccinations gone terribly wrong. Kids have transformed, changed into ravenous beasts that are nightmarishly quick, disproportionally strong, and void of empathy. No amount of planning or preparation could have saved the human race against this unexpected attack, centralized in the heart of every human home, and the US is quickly thrown into a chaos of Z Children. By the end of the first day, the entire world is jolted into a veritable hell on earth. Yet, there are survivors - individuals who, by luck, skill, or circumstance, lived through the initial wave of destruction. These 'lucky' ones will join together, bonded in their quest for survival. They will try to maintain their humanity in a world where children have graduated from bubble baths to blood baths. And they will try to find an answer to the only question that matters: What will tomorrow bring?

20 minutes in:
I'm not too sure on this, the narrator is very... Dull and cant do a female voice to save his life. All of the narrators characters sound the same.
Characters:
stupid, when you see someone being eaten you dont open the door when they get up and start walking like nothings wrong. Humans are selfish and I could understand if the person was family but no it was too unbelievable. You know if your child is sick and suddenly other children with the same symptoms are turning into flesh eating crazies you contact the other parent, again human selfishness it should have been the characters first thought.

40 minutes in:
I hate books that rely on sexism and racism to push the plot.

The reaction are not realistic at all if you see a kid eat another kid you scram and run or just run you dont stand there. You also drive like hell not wait around

Narrator: no real emotion in anything listening to an exciting scene in monotone is the last straw
