I know this book is supposed to be disturbing, and it certainly accomplishes that. It ties in a child-like sense of humor with its darkness that makes you feel off kilter. But it is also incredibly sad in a way. The narrator never stood a chance of normalcy. I feel so bad for her.

I first read this book in high school and it stuck with me for these last twenty years. Rereading it as an adult is a different type of dread, especially as many of the aspects of the book get more and more possible. It’s art, and it’s a warning.

This book is a beautiful exploration of how grief and horror are deeply intertwined. It left me heartbroken but kept me enthralled and turning every page. The profound and compounding impacts of trauma and racism impact every day of life.

This book is…not great. The characters are all one dimensional and their dialogue is forced and often irritating.
That being said, it is a REALLY good take on zombies and what could happen. I really loved the take that humans just…adjust. Like we do to every other horror, we keep going and figure it out. Medicine/technology/etc doesn’t all disappear just because people die and humans will always figure out a way to keep going and thrive, regardless of the restrictions.
The science about the virus and how it works and why was also really refreshing to a lot of other zombie/apocalypse books where the reason for the disease is pretty much “just cause.”
I would not recommend this book necessarily, as the characters are so painful to get through and cloying. But, once you start reading it you are going to want to finish reading it.
This is, objectively, a bad book that may have been written by AI.

I am 33 years old and an avid horror fan, yet this book still had me anxious to see how it would turn out. It’s more the horrors of humanity than anything else, and while the prose is obviously elementary (as it should be!) still a worthwhile read for adults.

I have been reading Stephen King for a long time, and I find often times that I either REALLY enjoy them or really do not. This was one I REALLY enjoyed. The development of Annie as a villain and the psychological warfare between the two of them is all encompassing. At one point I got so stressed I had to put the book down to take a breath. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and it moves quickly. 400 pages flew by. J
