I was really looking forward to reading The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey but in the end, this book just didn't hold any real surprises or excitement for me. Think zombie apocalypse with children.
I have to say this was most definitely not your average zombie story. It was very different and a nice change from the usual zombie horror books & shows. I really can't say a whole lot about it without giving the story away so I'll just say Melanie and the uniqueness of the story are really what I e...
Firstly, a little about myself. I do not like pumpkin. It doesn't matter what form it comes in. Raw, roasted, in a pie or cookies or other baked goods, in beverages, in soup: it all tastes disgusting to me. I don't even like the smell. Once upon a time when I worked in an office, I told the manager ...
This was definitely one of my favorite reads this year. I can't get over how great the writing was! When there was action I felt like I was right there in the middle of it and I actually had to stop reading for a bit and remember to breathe!I felt like all the characters were really well developed a...
This book was a really interesting sci-fi horror-esque read. I cared about the characters, the science side of it was interesting, and I had moments where I was cringing. I listened to this on audiobook and it had a very cinematic feel to it in places which worked for me. I don't know what else I...

The Girl with All the Gifts / M. R. Carey (Powell's Books) M. R. Carey masterfully balances narrative and exposition, sharing details and knowledge of the world the characters navigate with a purpose to the plot and the action immediately at hand. The characters are convincing in their and sympath...
This is an excellent story about Melanie, a very special little girl, in a dystopian zombie filled world. Yes my friends, I said the magic word: Z O M B I E S! Melanie is a gifted 10 year-old. We meet her right away and it is impossible not to sympathize with her, as all the cruel and daily challeng...
4.5 StarsPros:+ Well written, clever, mostly no gimmicks (as in "Surprise! I forgot to tell you that Dany can survive being burned up and also knows how to breastfeed baby dragons.")+ I'm not a "zombie" genre fan by ANY stretch, but I liked the well thought out science in this one. It was mostly bel...
