Zone One

I'm really enjoying Zone One so far. Colson Whitehead is clearly a master of descriptive language, and I appreciate a lot of his analogies, especially when he's describing the city. I'm pleasantly surprised that, for a book about the zombie apocalypse, there's been very little "action" so far. I don't really enjoy reading gruesome fight scenes, so I'm glad that the fighting has been minimal. I was also a little surprised by his vocabulary, I found myself reaching for a dictionary a few times, which is really unusual for me. I'm hoping that we'll get more background on Mark, and especially his real name. I'm not sure why not knowing his real name bothers me, but it does. It also makes me wonder how he's listed on the survivor log.
