I am slightly disappointed. This book was good, yes it was. But sadly it was just like the second book, cut off in the middle of the story. However in this story it is even more so. We get to the alarm and bang story over. So yeah, that makes me reduce 1 star.

The characters were once again really fun and interesting. I loved Rochelle and her whole I have to tell the truth at any time, no matter if it is appropriate or not.
Robecca, well I am still hoping see and Cy will get together, they would make a cute couple.
Venus, well I hope she learns to deal with her attitude a bit. She is a fun girl, but I am just sad that she is always so fierce and all about nature and such. It gets a bit boring, and also silly to see someone snap at people because they used 1 thing too much.

We also have a new character, who is a spider girl. I really liked her, though I am kind of curious as to what her story is. Why is she here? Who is she working for? Does she know more?

I do hope the whole headmistress is missing thing gets solved in the next book, and I hope we then get to have just normal stories. It would be a shame if this series was just about one thing. :(

The second book in the series, and we continue where we last left our girls. :)

Sadly, this book is not like the other. There we had a problem, a climax and also an ending. In this book, we still have a problem, and then it suddenly ends and you will have read book 3. : Oh well.

The girls are back and better, I really liked them in this book, you could see them start to become even better friends. It was at times really exciting and I couldn't wait to find out who made all the bad signs/omens etc. I of course have my suspicions as to who it could be.

I didn't like every character in the book. The blog girl was just annoying, that werecat girl was just urgh, a total bitch to everyone. 

But all in all, it was a nice story, and I will be sure to read book 3. :)

I read the Monster High books some time ago, so you can imagine my happiness when I read someone else will take it over and make a new series!!

Sadly that person was Gitty Daneshvari, who also wrote School of Fear, a book I really disliked. So I was quite worried this and the art would be the same as that one. Luckily, it turned out to be much, much different and much much better.

We have 3 main girls: Rochelle (a gargoyle), Robecca (steampunk robot) and Venus (a plant girl). Everyone of them has one quality and that gets told 100x times. It doesn't bother me that much though, it was at times a bit silly to see the same thing come up though.

I loved the descriptions of the classes, the school, the outside place, I could just imagine myself there and have fun with the monsters. 

Be aware though, the whole book is filled with puns and such. Library is Libury, Oh la la becomes Boo la la and various countries have had their names changed to something more appropriate for a school of monsters.

We (cheer cheer) meet the old cast as well. I loved and I was so happy to see them again, to see them move through the school and have a great time together.

There is a good story going on, strange new teacher, people starting to do strange and the 3 main girls (and someone else) have to save the monsters.

Oh, I totally forgot one thing: There are illustrations. It took me a bit to get used to them. All the girls looked a clone copy of the other. The only thing different was the hair/clothes and few other small things. But in general she is she had only draw the outlines, then you would have the same characters everywhere.

All in all, though it is a funny and fluffy series, and I will be sure to check the rest of the books out.

As these books progress, they get more gory and also more disturbing.

There were just times I had to stop reading, stop going on, and sometimes I just had to skip. And at other times I wanted to know more. 
There are new disgusting characters in here. We got the collector, my God, he was scary and disturbing. Taking and maiming kids, and doing God knows what to them. We also have St George (who I knew from the next book), who is a very scary, smart and organized zombie. We also got various other zombies, like the gym bunny mother. It was kind of scary to see things from her point of view.

And then we have the children. My God, Charlie Higson doesn't go out of the way to kill them does he now? It happens in all the books, that main characters or even side characters gets killed off as easily. It doesn't happen often that writers do this, so it is kind of awesome that Charlie Higson does so, sadly I am also not so happy with it. I keep hoping that these kids would survive, but well... nope.

David is just a scary kid. The power really went to his head and made him all psycho.

I really liked Dognut, Brooke, Courtney and all the other characters we meet in this book.

Well I will be waiting for book 5 now. Hopefully it won't be long before I can read it. I am kind of curious as to why the zombies are being able to think, are able to use weapons. And I am also cheering and hoping some kids will at least survive this damned thing.

Just a short review to express my thoughts/feelings.

Flotsam & Jetsam is another story in the world of The Forest of Hands and Teeth. This time it is about the time when everything started. When people started to get eaten, when the world was still for most part alive and filled with people. This time we are on the ocean, in a raft, all alone.

We have 2 characters, one infected, one healthy. They are stuck on a raft after their cruise ship got attacked by the illness/zombies. They have seen their friends getting eaten, getting killed. Most of the time they talk about pre-raft time, about kisses and love. 
They also talk about what our healthy guy should do when the infection will spread and turn his fellow raftfriend. Of course, like always it is a simple promise to make. Sure I will kill you, but through the story and as things progress you will find out that it isn't an easy choice to make, to just kill someone, even if they aren't human. And while the story was quite short, I think that part was really well done. 

The ending, mm I am not so sure what I thought about that. It was ok, but also a bit disappointed, though again, also expected. We know what happened to the world and how many people are still left.

All in all, a good short story, and really recommend to those who enjoyed the Forest of Hands and Teeth books, or those who want to start with the series.
