Review for Zom-B by Darren Shan

 Zom-B is the first book in a series written by Darren Shan.


i only read this book for an alphabet challenge and i was looking for a random book with the letter Z. i am so glad i picked this one. i knew i would like it because it's written by Darren Shan, who is a horror genius. i loved his Demonata and Cirque du Freak series. i wasn't looking to start yet another series but i'm hooked to the story and can't wait to read the next one.

the book follows the life of B, who is an awesome character. not awesome in the sense that she's a likable character, but B's POV was addictive and i could not stop reading once i started. dealing with her abusive and racist dad was story enough but then you throw in zombies and you got a favorite new series. i liked that B's home life was just as important to the story line as the zombies. her father was horrible. his racism was dealt with very seriously which made me take it seriously. he was the true villain to me. i'm interested in seeing how that will continue in the next book.

all of the characters were great and it was killing me to see them get picked off one by one. one thing i like about Shan is that he doesn't shy away from the death scenes with the kids. it's just as brutal as reading an adult novel about zombies. no one is safe and most likely everyone around you will die. i thought each book would be told from a different person because of how this book ended. but that doesn't seem to be the case so i'm excited to see what really happened to B and how she survived and what the deal is with the zombies. i'm sure i won't be disappointed.
