Zom-B is another zombie apocalypse novel. The zombies first strike in Ireland, but this story occurs in a school in London. The majority of the novel occurs in the days leading up to the attack.

Since this novel is set in England, the names of the characters were very confusing for me. I had a hard time distinguishing the male characters from the female characters.

There was a lot of open racism and child abuse in the novel. At first, I had no idea why these themes were so prominent. Having finished the novel, I am still not sure I see the point. I think that Darren Shan was trying to make some profound point but he missed the mark.

I despised the ending. Supposedly this book is "to be continued," but I do not see how this will be possible.

I read another book by Darren Shan and I absolutely loved it. However, I do not share the same feelings with this book. I will not be reading the rest of the Zom-B series.
