Junior Braves of the Apocalypse Vol. 1, Volume 1: A Brave Is Brave by Greg Smith, Michael Tanner
3.0
I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley
This is more of a 2.5 but I'm rounding it up to 3 stars because it's really not a bad book, it's more of a case of 'it's not you it's me'. I'm not the biggest fan of zombie stuff to start with so an author has to do something really out of the box with it to impress me and this story pretty much just fell into all the familiar 'horrible people you meet trying to survive the zombie apocalypse' tropes that we've seen a million times before [cannibals, trigger-happy rednecks, etc]. It was slightly interesting to see the story told from a younger point of view, but really the only kid I even liked was Johnny and overall it wasn't enough to make me want to continue with this series in the future. Also the entire book is in black and white which I really don't care for. It also makes it kind of hard for me personally to tell some characters apart since for me hair / clothing color is a large part of that. If you just REALLY love zombie stuff then you will probably like this, but I was just kind of meh over it.
