Dang. I did NOT want to get hooked into another YA series right now. I knew this was the first in a series, but I thought that it would be just another gore-fest that I could listen to quickly then move right on to a stand alone novel. I should have known better.
Having not read any of Darren Shan's books before, I don't know if insanely high cliff hangers are his M.O., but he certainly left me teetering on the edge at the end of Zom-B.
I liked that there were other issues at play in the novel as well, specifically some serious issues involving racism, making this more than just another zombie-eat-world novel. Also, B's character is really well fleshed out (sorry).
I can't say much more without giving away a totally shocking plot twist in the novel. Well, shocking for me at least.
Fun and fast-paced- I'm hooked!
