As far as zombie mayhem goes, this novel is a bit tamer than most I have read. The pace is farily quick although it does drag a bit here and there and while there are a few scenes of gore, but in comparison to other zombie books, this one felt a bit censored. I also felt that the censorship carried over to the quasi romantic relationships and that the book left a lot of questions. Personally, I'm not looking for graphic descriptions but if you are going to claim two people are in love (and have been for years!) I need something more out of the lovebirds on the emotional level. A couple of furtive glances is not enough for me to hack away at zombies on behalf of some boy- convice us they love each other!! I would also like a few more details about the setting and background. Describing more about how the sisterhood started, where they got their knowledge, how much they knew,etc would be nice. Maybe more details on what started the whole zombie problem. The details that are given leave inconsistencies that bother me. For example,they have chainlink fences but their weapons are fairly crude. There are photographs (which will degrade in about 75 years) that have been left behind but none of the characters know what a Roman numeral is. There are stone buildings and tunnels but the town hides from zombies on open air platforms. Seems like a lot of basic knowledge and common sense is lost in a very short time. I would like to read the next book in the series to see if the story is developed better; I think this first book could have been a little longer and given a better closure. I am also wondering if the first book felt censored because it was written as a young adult novel or if it was an ill-used attempt to prevent divulging too much of what is to come. I know this doesn't sound very positive, but I did enjoy the story- I just wanted more out of it.

I love this book. It works wonderfully on many levels. There is lots of good information about the mind and the brain. It becomes very personal as the author goes into (or at least attempts to) all of the states of consciousness in the book. It is inspirational as one learns what the mind and brain are capable of. Also, I was continually inspired by the process of the author's writing of this book. The author(Warren) worked so very hard and long on this book, and this process became for me part of the enjoyment of the book. Warren is just a 'lay person' (i.e. not formally educated in the science and ways of the mind and the brain) that was driven by his extreme curiosity for the subject. Where some would go far, Warren goes farther. This is the best kind of 'self help' book in that the author goes through the process (of learning about and improving the mind) and demonstrates it to us. The author is not an expert that delivers his message on a tablet from above. But he is very knowledgeable and well read and CURIOUS, and this shines through in his writing. I liked the author's casual style, and I would get in line to be his 'drinking buddy'. I continually thought of the Einstein as I read this book. Like Einstein, the author was driven by a desire to find UNITY among different (but related) subjects. Warren continually looked for commonality in all of the states of consciousness. The author even drew his own map of consciousness, demonstrating how much he learned about the subject. There is a section (in the book) for each state of consciousness (as well as a conclusion that I found very satisfying). The author is well aware that his list of the 'consciousness states' is fallible. My fave sections are the meditation and lucid dreaming sections. One particular insightful (and instructing and inspiring and irrestible and on and on) analogy in the book was the 'tornado analogy'. Warren was interviewing an 'expert' about (among other things) the different ways to analyze the mind and the brain. Generally speaking, there are a couple of approaches (top-down and bottom-up). The 'expert' preferred the top top-down approach. He brought up the example of how a tornado gathers up all in its path. So how useful is it to study all of the small things (that a tornado gathers) when one can study the tornado itself? It seems like another way to say "Don't sweat the small things". I realize that there are plenty of examples where this 'tornado analogy' breaks down (sometimes we got to "sweat the small things"). But we have to be careful about not seeing the forest for the trees. But I digress. I think that there are a lot of readers out there that would love to read this book.
