I have been bitten! It was my first zombie book and I was feeling intimated after seeing that it was over 450 pages long but after reading the first 25 pages I could not put the book down. So bitten in fact, I drove over to the library and grabbed the next two books in the series tonight. I don’t...

“It's just that I'm fifteen, and I have this crazy idea I might actually have a life in front of me. I don't see how it's going to do me much good to believe that the world is over and this is just an epilogue.”In a zombie apocalypse book I never expected to feel sorry for the zombies but it seems t...

I started reading this and got about 5 chapters in and had to put it down. The main character is supposed to be 15 years old but he is written like a 10 year old! It was driving me crazy! For example, "Nix had always been like Morgie and Chong. Now she was a girl. There was no way to ignore that...

I have to say that I enjoyed this story. I suppose its meant more for the YA group, but I enjoyed the characters. Certainly nothing deep or complex, but....human. There is also lots of zombie action and I felt that the landscape was well thought out. On to the next one!

OK, first let me state that the three stars are not a reflection on Mr. Maberry's writing. On the contrary -- if you read this book, you will find excellent writing, wonderful plotting, interesting world building and great characters. But you will also find zombies. In fact, you will be reading abou...

What can I say, Rot & Ruin was not at all what I expected. I thought I was going to jump into something resembling The Walking Dead. I'm happy to say that is not the case.First Night totally screwed humanity. For some reason the dead came back to life that night and brought terror with it. I do ...

Reviewed at http://www.mandikayereads.com/archives/2984Thanks to Smash I have a new fondness for zombie books. My favorites will always be the Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant – but this one was also surprisingly good. When I think of “zombie” I always think of ick and gore and braiiiiiiiiiiiiins. Be...
