Zone One, Post Two

My interest in this books fluctuates and that is mainly because of the writing style. When Mark's mind starts to wonder, so does mine. It takes a little longer to read it because I keep losing interest when Mark goes off on a tangent. However, I do think it is getting a little bit easier than before because I'm getting use to the way the author writes. I think another reason why I'm not always into it is because of the time period it takes place in. It doesn't take place at the very beginning of the apocalypses when everything is crazy or even when the military goes through cities killing the skels and stragglers. It takes place when it is relatively calm and the sweepers are taking care of skels and stragglers that were looked over. The calmness of the story doesn't get my attention as well as it could. There are a few sections and details I like about the book. Early on, I like the detail that Gary uses "we" because he was a triplet. And more recently, I like the explanation of skels verse stragglers. Those details stick out to me even though they aren't extremely important to the plot.
