And this is what the meeting of those two minds would have looked like. Thoroughly enjoyable with a novel beginning and spine-chilling ending. The middle was rather run-of-the-mill though, the usual scavenging and avoiding enemies both living and dead. What made the story stick out for me though was...

Wait...this book is about zombies? Those sneaky publishers. Let's put that pretty yellow cover on it! Let's make the little-girl silhouette open and hopeful! Let's definitely not give any hint to what the book is really about in the blurb! I'm glad they didn't though. If they had, I wouldn't hav...

I decided to read this book after seeing how many people loved it. A lot of you hear on BookLikes have done reviews or ratings on it and I've yet to find someone who didn't like it. So when Mom offered to buy me a book, I figured this was a good option. I finished it today just as my laundry finishe...

But I'm sure there are still people out there who coul...

The Girl with All the Gifts is a zombie story in which not all of the zombies are mindless, brain-sucking creatures. Some of them are young children who are surprisingly intelligent. One of our main characters, ten-year-old Melanie, is one of these children. I had mixed feelings. In the beginning,...

I hadn’t read a lot about the book before picking it up other than it was a science fiction novel that would appeal to those who don’t normally read science fiction. I’m not sure that’s the case. I did enjoy the beginning of the book when Mrs. Justineau was teaching Melanie and the other students. ...

It's no spoiler to say this is a zombie book, because you find out in the very first chapter. The hints that give away the children's nature are creepy, and that first chapter was fun to read because it's so uniquely told--from the zombie child's POV, when even she doesn't know what she is.

Wow. A wonderfully written book filled with characters you can relate to. Loved every bit of it. Melanie had more heart and soul than most of the humans out there. Great spin on the classic zombie novel.More objective review for the book.
