A review by wendythegeekgoddess
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
3.0
SYNOPSIS:
Mary was raised in a post apocalyptic world, in a town surrounded by "unconsecrated". The town is run by nuns who believe that the purpose of their town is to keep everyone reproducing, so that life can go on in a world surrounded by death. Mary doesn't believe in the things the nuns say, she was raised with stories about oceans and buildings as tall as the sky, she believes there is life beyond their town, and she is determined to find out where.
REVIEW:
The beginning of the novel is slow but holds its importance because it introduces us to the important characters, the stories of each of them and the links that binds them together. I just feel that it dragged on to much and could've been cut shorter. It took a while until the book took an interesting turn but eventually after a while, the exciting part of the story kept on repeating itself. It wasn't until the last 50 pages when the action kept coming, the book kept surprising me. It had me feeling excitement, sadness, anger, until the very last page was turned. All in all, I rate this book 3 1/2 stars because the author did have me at the edge of my seat towards the end of the novel.
AGE RATING AND RECOMMENDED TO:
This book doesn't contain any strong language but it does have a bit of violence and some of the words are a bit challenging so I recommend it to those who are 12 and over. I recommend this book to any zombie fan out there but keep in mind, it's not really about "zombie slaying", more like surviving in a world that now belongs to the dead.
