I've read, and re-read this series I can't even count how many times. I'll read other ones, but will ALSO come back and read this series again.The characters are so relateable...you are either Zed or Murphy in some way, or have a friend EXACTLY like one of them.This story BECOMES your story!Each book might be shorter than you expect/hope for, but I promise will be worth it to read.Take notes, consider your own faults/deamons, and from this series you can learn to be a better person, just like Zed.Do what's right!Tell it like it is (even if it hurts someone's feelings, cause no one else will)Keep in being true to yourself even though every one might call you an @$$hole for it.Sometimes being YOU and telling it AS IT IS is considered a D¡©K move, but truth is better than bandaid lies. And MOST people will be better off for it.Philosophical or not, it's still an awesome zombie series that ANYONE who is a fan of the genre should read at least once
