This is not a test. Listen closely. This is not a test. It has been 3 years since I last read this book, some stuff was still there and I remember them, but most of the book has disappeared deep in my mind. For which I am thankful, since now I could enjoy this book again!And enjoy the book I did...
So I liked the characters in this one, and Summers’ taut, elegaic prose really works well here. But I’m just fundamentally not very interested in zombie books, I guess. I don’t feel the urgency and sense of stakes, and so while the conflict between the students and the exploration of Sloane’s reacti...
I decided to check to see what my local library had the way of offering in Courtney Summers after seeing the press in the blogosphere for her new book. I’ve always been interested in This is Not a Test because, well, zombies and I was pleasantly surprised with this one. But it was not exactly what...
I read this on a whim and can be pretty brief about it. The story is simplistic, events coincidental and disjointed and all dipped in layers of teenage angst. Or in other words, a typical YA novel. I learned that my whims are stupid. Final verdict: In a surprising turn of events, YA zombie stori...
2.5 starsWould have been a star less if not for the ending.I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities in this book. It got its message mixed up and seemed to forget it a lot.Also, there was no logic to anything the group did. I get that they're teenagers and the apocalypse is still fairly ...
I never thought I’d refer to a zombie book as really, really, boring, but This is Not a Test was a snooze-fest. Zombies have taken over, and six teens have managed to barricade themselves into the local high school and are trying to survive. But the main character, Sloane, doesn’t want to make it ...
Dear Zombie Obsessed Friends,The first time I heard about this book, I was reading a review of the sequel on Caffeinated Book Reviewer’s blog. I was so eager to read the first book, I quickly placed it on hold at the library and raced to pick it up as soon as I was able. The premise isn’t something ...
This is not a Test was a difficult book to read. It reveals information slowly and not clearly so you have to put together a lot of the background yourself. Which frankly I was not really in the mood for. The book focuses on Sloane and mostly takes place about a week after the zombie apocalypse. ...
I could not speak when I finished this one. I absolutely had no words, it was one of those books where I absolutely lived every single moment, felt every single emotion and basically got dragged along in the wake of an extremely disturbing yet absolutely compelling story. First a warning. This nov...
