It's been a week or so since I finished this, and I still find myself unable to work out the complicated mess of feelings caused by reading it. I therefore apologise for the disjointed structure of this review but for now it's the best I can do.The prose is beautiful, haunting, odd. There are no spe...
NOT a post-apocalyptic book club selection - but I felt like it ought to have been! It really fit in with most of the books that get selected for my club meetings... except, of course, the guy doing the selecting is not a big fan of zombies, and well, There Are Zombies.Zombies aside, the book remind...
This book blew me away. I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the story's heroine when she bashed a guy's head in within the first few pages of the book. She is now one of my favorite characters of all time. 15-year-old Temple was born into a world over run by zombies. Her parents probably dies short...
Would it be a stretch to call it a Faulkner-esque zombie tale?From the start, Reapers quickly distinguishes itself in the zombie apocalypse genre. Temple, our heroine, has found herself a deserted lighthouse when she experiences the miracle of the fishes. "She left the lighthouse and went down to th...
This was a pleasant surprise, I liked it a lot more than I expected.The genre is my favorite, and this short book is one of the better post-apocalyptic adventure stories, I think.
I don't even know what to say about this book. It was so good. The author really knew how to paint this world. The language, the imagery, the characters. It was deep. It had an old west/purgatory kind of feel to it. So unique.I just didn't like it. Wait, no- rephrase, it'll stick with me for a long ...
I have been wanting to read this for a while and, in light of the praise it has received, I find myself somewhat underwhelmed. Which is not that say that it is bad. On the contrary, it is good. Very good, in fact. Just not, I guess, as great as I anticipated it was going to be. As a whole, it is eng...
Wow, just wow. I didn't see that ending coming....Alden Bell, first and foremost, thank you for zombie-YA-Fiction with a smart, theoretically deep, bad ass heroine on a mission with played down romance. Temple had guts, man. Crazy guts. She was a good person whether or not she thought she was. She c...
I read an ARC edition and I loved it all the way up to the ending...then that's when I didn't like it so much anymore. Temple is pretty bad-ass and very independent, which I appreciated, then again, the ending happened and ruined the whole book for me :(
