"Excellent Book! Rise & Walk!!" This is a great book! I enjoyed every page. I'm a huge Stephen King fan and this made its way to my top favorites. It's a must read if you are any kind of horror fan. I can't wait to find out terror our hero's in this story run into next!

"A True Zombie Book For Zombie Fans!!!!" I'm a huge fan of zombie movies (Romero's are the best), and this book delivered the goods. From the exciting (or frightening, depending on your point of view) zombie attacks to the main characters struggles and ingenuity, I was sucked in to the very end. And like the best Romero film, Dawn of the Dead, when the story ends, you actually want to know what's going to happen next to these characters, which for me, is a true sign of a good story teller. I look forward to the next book Mr. Solis writes. If you're a Georger Romero fan, do yourself a favor and get this book!!!

"Rise and Walk"
A group of geology students on a field trip get way more than they bargained for when a meteor slams down near their camp. Leave it to a few dumb jocks to do something genius to the meteor and unleash a whole world of putrid, rotten, pus-filled hell upon a an unsuspecting small backwoods campground where locals are having fun fishing, paintballing and camping. Gregory Solis’ zombie novel is a masterful tale that any true zombiephile can sink their teeth into. And even if you aren’t a die-hard zombie freak, my money is on that even if you have a slight penchant for all things horrific, gory and exceptionally well written then Rise and Walk is a novel that you mustn’t... More > pass up. As one would expect Rise and Walk tells the story of a zombie plague, and it should come as no surprise to anyone that there are survivors who are desperately trying to remain survivors. I don’t want to give too much of the plot away, but Solis exceeds expectations with outstanding character development which extends much further than just the main characters. Even those in the novel whose sole purpose is to become zombie chow are well developed. I made light of the minor character development to the author and he simply stated, “The horror is that each of these decayed assailants was once a person, someone’s friend, mother or object of unrequited love. I think sometimes us zombie fans forget how truly frightening these monsters are. Movies recently have tried to ratchet up the fear by making the creatures faster, and that works for film. It is only in novels that we have the time to introduce someone to the inner thoughts and hopes of a person and then strip away that humanity, leaving only primitive urges to consume...” Truer words were never spoken and the author’s knack for creating detailed characters only added that much more to the overall story. Author Solis definitely has a knack for bringing the dead to life. Very detailed and descriptive writing so graphic you can almost smell the flesh rotting. I felt dirty, I could picture each and every setting, I pictured each and every character and graphically imagined each and every horrible mutilation as it happened. To sum it all up, let’s just say that I read Rise and Walk in a single day! Never in my life have I ever finished a book in a single day, granted it was only 222 pages or so, but I picked it up expecting to read a few chapters and I never put it down. I wasn’t much different from one of the victims in the book in that I was totally consumed by Rise and Walk. Highly recommended! < Less

A good premise for a story, but to be absolutely honest i was left dissapointed by the use of poor grammer. It really did spoil a plot that had huge potential.

"AWESOME!" I've found the usual zombie books out there to be just like the movies: corny. And even though the premise sounds like a typical zombie flick, the emotional connectivity i felt with the characters and the realistic atmosphere that i experienced while reading Rise and Walk completely deteriorated my original presumptions. Although the situations in the book are similar to the kinds everyone has read or seen in movies, the writing and the depth of the story is what makes it truly original. 10 out of 10!
