Suburban Zombie High by Jeremy Flagg

alongreader's review against another edition

2.0

This is not exactly what I was expecting. I've been reading it in fits and starts for several days, and I probably will go back to it, but there's no urgency. I can't tell the characters apart, even though so far they all seem like American cliches ... the nasty cheerleader, the emo teen, the jock and so on. Maybe they'll gain some depth as the story continues. Everyone seems to accept the idea of their friends and schoolmates being zombies very easily with very little pause or worry about bludgeoning them to death. I know, crisis situation, but still. And I haven't quite figured out how it was passed.

Spoiler

The two kids in the science lab were the first, but then people started feeling sick? Except the ones who didn't?

Again, maybe it's made clear later on, and I do plan to continue reading.
This isn't bad, exactly. It just doesn't seem to be much of anything right now.
Thanks to netgalley and Brave New Worlds for this e arc, which I received in exchange for an honest review.

I received an e-copy of this book from netgalley and it was so cute. A fast read with fun characters although there were so many I got confused a few times. Amazing comedy zombie book though. Definitely worth the read.
