lindsaynixon 's review for:
The Girl With All the Gifts
by M. R. Carey
This is a book about acceptance and how we will deny things and hold on until the bitter end rather than accepting our new reality because we don't like it or don't want it to be the reality. It was a strong theme throughout the book, all the way to the ending that many other reviewers have remarked is surprising. It is, and it is not. It's more of the ending you don't necessarily want, but it is the ending. It is how it is supposed to be.
I don't normally seek out zombie/scifi books, but took a chance on this since it's about to be a movie and am glad I did. It reminded me why I took on this challenge--to force myself to try new things! The book did start rather slow (imho) but picked up after chapter 7 and for the most part stayed a steady pace. The last 20 chapters, you can't really stop, be prepared there!
