"Rot and Ruin" Stanley Suter

 *Prompt* Who are you favorite and least favorite characters?

        This week I have been reading "Rot and Ruin" and I really like it. It is set in a world plagued by the zombie apocalypse where a town on a mountainside is hanging onto life away from the living dead.  Two brothers, Benny and Tom, are closure specialists (people that will kill your living dead family members so you can feel at rest) who have to stop a gang of bounty hunters from starting a sort of zombie games, called fun land.

        My favorite character would probably be Tom. He is highly tuned to his surroundings and it seems light no one can get the upper hand on him. He came close to death when he was shot by a shotgun and left for fifty zoms, but his brother Benny accidentally sprayed too much of an odor to keep them away from them. His favorite weapon is the katana because it is silent, and he is a master with it.

        My least favorite character is Charlie pinkeye. He thinks that just because the world has gone to ruin, there is no need for justice outside the town gate. He tries to start G
ameland, an event where children try to fight zoms until there death comes, inevitably. He ties zombies to trees and hunts them down later for large amounts of money, and forces kids (like Benny) to show him "manners" (always saying "sir" and telling the truth, at least the one Charlie wants to hear).

  2. Good blog. I like that you tell your reasoning behind who you like or don't like. He survived a shotgun?

  3. Great blog. I like how you explain who your favorite and least favorite characters are and why. I don't like Charlie Pinkeye either from what you said.
