So this book is
apart of a three part series about the post zombie apocalyptic world taking
place approximately one hundred years after our time. The main character is
Mary, a teenager of unknown age, who has grown up in a remote village
surrounded by a two-layer chain link fence to fend off the zombies.
I would best
describe this book as a survival-thriller with well written action scenes. What
bugged me the most, however, was some of the characters and their interactions
are not written very well.
For example,
there's a scene where the main character's best friend becomes
uncharacteristically angry almost to the point of insanity. This is supposed to
be an intense scene and is supposed to shock the audience that this side of the
character exists. But the problem is this is the longest scene of dialogue with
the character. For all we know she's actually like this all the time. It's like
that with a lot of the characters. I think it needed more exposition to
introduce all the characters as they are instead of waiting for them to be
dynamic when we can't see how they're being dynamic.
