I initially put this novel off -- though it was highly recommended -- because it seemed like it would be the same old thing. You know, EMP burst so that new societies must arise after most of the technology we are over-reliant on is suddenly gone and then there's the zombie-ish concept... We know ...
I really enjoyed Ashes it has to be said. The YA genre has exploded recently, with many being made into movies (Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments, Divergent) and thats because there are some terrific tales out there, that will make great movies (if done properly and loyal to the source material).

I enjoyed the story and thought the horror imagery was handled well. The characterizations were a bit weak, though.

Told in the voice of Alex, this is a spine-chilling tale about could happen if there had been a strong magnetic pulse. It's the story about how a world could change in just the blink of an eye - and you could lose your whole family in less than a second.Alex goes to the woods to find closure from ...
Find this review at Scott Reads It Ashes was a book that I had a pretty high expectations for. I didn't really know anything about the book before I picked it up except it had good reviews. Ashes was a huge letdown, and I was very disappointed what I got. Ashes is a zombie dystopian book. It'...
