My Thoughts:
I am not sure what to think about this book. You have zombies placed into a zoo for the viewing pleasure of the rest of the world. Then you have protesters that really don't do much. A teen that falls in love with girls he has never had a conversation with, zombies included. Part of the problem is that the book is soooo short. The author really needed to take some time to flesh the characters out and build the world up. I couldn't even get a mental picture of the park since the book was so rushed. I really didn't even care about the characters. I didn't care if they succeeded with their plans or not. Overall, it was ok but it had potential to be so much more.View all my reviews
