Bookskoetter Review:
After reading books like, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," and seeing related spoof/mash-up titles, I have come to associate zombie books with humor. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with this book (the cover doesn't look very funny!). I found myself pleasantly surprised to tell students, friends, and family that this book is "actually pretty good!" I found myself captivated by the story of Benny Imura, who lives in a fenced-in community about 14 years after the zombie-apocalypse that killed his parents, along with most of the modern world. The story is well-written, exciting, and kept me turning the pages on the edge of my seat the entire time. I would definitely recommend this book to any teen looking for a page-turning thriller, and definitely to any teen who likes zombies! Let's hope that this makes it to next year's Gateway Award nominees! I think it would definitely be a favorite!
