I enjoyed this book. I know it's about zombies. But it focuses more on relationships - brother to brother, between friends and maybe girlfriend and boyfriends. It is quite enjoyable and wraps up nicely. The zombies turned out to be just part of their reality. I was on the edge of my seat with this ...
This book was awesome. Really, the only indication that it's a YA book is the lack of swearing and big, smarty-pants language. Maberry didn't talk down to readers, and the story was really well done. I saw a few of the twists coming, but so what? I can usually see the major plot twists coming in...
This is what I learned from reading Rot & Ruin:1. Zombies iz people too. So they should be treated with respect, yo. (more about this later) 2. Books containing zombies can be really irritating and boring. You see, I didn't know this was a possibility. I mean, it's zombies we're talking about her...
I am really, really not a zombie person.* When I saw this one had won the Cybil for YA SF/F, I kind of groaned and went "REALLY?" And then I read it and enjoyed it, which just goes to show you. It's fast-paced and smart and funny and sad. I loved Tom and Benny's banter and the real relationship they...
Is the zombie apocalypse close at hand? Are zombies the new vampire? Both are undead. Both bite. Unfortunately, zombies have gotten the short end of the stick. Zombies are not glamorous. They are not sexy or sparkly either. Zombies are just ….well ewww. I must preface this review with the fact that ...
Benny Imura has a couple of days till turning fifteen. Fifteen year olds in his post apocalyptic world are expected to contribute to society otherwise they find their rations cut in half (Everything I’ve said happens in the first couple of pages.) He also lives with his half brother, Tom Imura, who...
Here's my jumbled thoughts:Liked that it was about growing up in a sense, taking everything as we thought we knew as fact and mixing it all up. Benny thought he knew Tom (his brother) and during the unfolding of the story you see him growing up and changing, realizing maybe he doesn't know everythin...
Four and a half stars.If you read Jonathan Maberry's story in The Living Dead 2 part 1 (a little over 100 pages) will seem very familiar, though it stops short of the final scene in the short story. Although it was repetitive because I have read the short story, I really didn't mind. Each zombie a...
5 stars. Excellent book. New literary crush: Tom Imura. I LOVE him.Read my review on my blog http://janasbooklist.blogspot.com/2010/10/zombie-week-book-review-rot-ruin-by.html
Benny just turned fifteen. In his world that means he must find a job in order to continue receiving his rations. The problem is, Benny can’t find a job he likes. He and his best friend, Chong, waited too long to get one and all the easy jobs are gone. What’s left aren’t very appealing. He’s tried ...
