Super exciting and extremely fast-paced! I didn't think I'd enjoy a zombie book but I was dead wrong (haha).

Review to come!

Essentially what you have with this book is a bad horror flick turned into a book. However, I was still entertained with it...again similar to the bad horror flick. I also want to know what happens next. I need to get my hands on the sequel some how!

I actually really liked this book. A lot more than I thought I would. The writing took some time to get used to, but I am definitely in love with Smitty.

There are a lot of things I enjoyed about this book. The narration is quirky and engaging. Yes, I occasionally rolled my eyes at the internet slang, but that wasn’t too distracting. The characters are occasionally archetypal but in such a way that it’s amusing rather than tiresome—like Alice, who is less concerned about her friends turning into zombies than she is about zombies touching her purse. What really makes them likable as characters is the choices they make. It’s a quick read, a face-paced story with entertaining prose and well-written characters. No, it’s not a classic-to-be, but it’s certainly worthwhile.

Second reading: it... lost some of its charm.

So Undead was everything I thought it would be. It had humor, action, a little romance and best of all zombies. But that's all it had. There was no real plot or story line for that matter. It was kind of your typical A-frame kind of zombie story. Kids + field rip + stranded +zombies= the same story we have all seen a billion times. When it seemed like there was no escape they escaped, when it seemed like it was over a zombie jump out, when it seemed like the world was ending and romance was not an option people flirted. It wasn’t a bad book, I swear. It was just something I've read and seen many many times before. I liked the ending but to be honest even that has been done before. If you’re looking for a light read just to kind of clean your palate then I recommend this one. It doesn't take any brain power to follow, you know it's not perfect, and there are times when you will laugh and jump.
