The Reapers Are the Angels
by Alden Bell
My all time favourite book!
The Reapers are the Angels isn't just a dystopian, zombie novel centred around a young, fearless girl. It's a big question mark towards morality in survival.
Poor Temple starts out like the little tomboy sister we want to protect, but goes on to become very troubled by her own thoughts and actions. She sees herself as evil which only makes you pity her and the things she has had to do to survive.
The characters in this story are all grey, nobody is 100% good or bad and this is what makes it so amazing. Everyone's POV is understandable. The world-building is phenomenal; Bell is able to describe a scene with all senses so accurately you almost feel like you're really there. The "meatskins", and their various names, are described so well that it can turn your stomach to imagine them and their stench.
I am very certain this book would make a killing being made into a film and I'd be first in the cinema to view it.
