Rot & Ruin
by Jonathan Maberry
This book is nominated for a state award for young adult readers. A few of my students highly recommended it. I had to admit I wasn't eager to run to the library to pick the book up. I was never really into the zombie genre books. The nearest I came was reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies simply because I was a Jane Austen fan and was curious.
My students were right! I couldn't put the book down. I completely agree that it brings a more humanistic approach to the zombie genre. I like the depth of the characters and the challenges each character must face both physically and mentally. When I had about 50 pages left I had to rush to the book store to pick up the second book.
I loved this book and am thankful to my students for recommending it. I have also found a lot of my striving readers enjoying the book and not being able to put it down. There were even times I had to remind my students to put the book down since class had started. Great read for any age.
