A review by geofroggatt
Zom-B by Darren Shan
3.0
Zom-B is a radical new series about a zombie apocalypse, told in the first person by one of its victims. The series combines classic Shan action with a fiendishly twisting plot and hard-hitting and thought-provoking moral questions dealing with racism, abuse of power and more. This is challenging material, which will captivate existing Shan fans and bring in many new ones. The protagonist is initially very unlikable, but this is by design. The exploration on racism and prejudice is explored through a zombie story, leading to an interesting plot-twist that may lead readers to the next book in the series, despite following a protagonist that could be described as an awful bully.
