In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human.
My Rating: 5/5
I have had this book loaned from the Library for a while now and the first time I tried reading it months ago I couldn't get further than the first chapter.
When I picked it up this time I never expected to like it as much as did. Once I got into the storyline I finished it in less than a day.
It is really fast paced, and given that it is over 400 pages it contains alot of action.
The protagonist Benny was immature at times. Even though I found that annoying at times I could see that it was justified.
My favourite character other than Benny was his brother Tom. I would have liked to have seen some of the story from his perspective.
The only character that I didn't like was Nix. Given that she seems to be a main character, I hope I warm up to her in future books.
I really liked the setting, it reminded me at times of The Forest of Hands and Teeth with the fence keeping the zombies out.
I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable

This one sounds interesting... I instantly recognized the cover too. I should pick this one up.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this book (and the following ones) too. :) I hope you continue with the series. I'm sure you'll warm up to Nix. She's not so bad. :)
