brindijo 's review for:

Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
5.0

I read many books for my middle school classroom. I purchased this book thinking that the zombie theme would appeal to the boys. I was totally blown away by how this book pulled me in and kept me reading. Even though Benny dislikes the thought of his brother's job as a bounty hunter of zombies out in the Rot and Ruin, he is forced to become his brother's apprentice. Out in the infested areas, he learns that the real monsters are not the zombies but the other humans. This would be placed in my top list of books for middle schoolers. Anxious to read "Dust and Decay" next.
