Frank Dolan, New York— Not a book to be lightly thrown aside. It should be thrown with great force. Okay, I get the point: The reader brings her own experiences, etc. to a text to create, well, whatever she wants.

Not a Diet Book: Take Control. Gain Confidence. Change Your Not a Diet Book: Take Control. Gain Confidence. Change Your

This has been said a few times, but it's certainly worth repeating. This is not really a zombie book. Although it has zombies in it, they are just the constant threat in the book, and they are minimally shown. The gore is quite minimal, too. This is just a warning for others, like myself, who aren't really into gory books, because I wouldn't want anyone to not read this book just because of that. Of course that can go both ways, however, and a zombie fan looking for an all out gore-fest may be disappointed. OMG WHEN HE [blank]. OMG I can’t even deal with this book now. I’ve actually had to stop reading for the night to calm down.Several passages stood out: "The thing no one tells you abour surviving, about the mere act of holding out, is how many hours are nothing because nothing happens. They also don't tell you about how you can share your deepest secrets with someone, kiss them, and the next hour it's like there's nothing between you because not everything can mean something all the time or you'd be crushed under the weight of it. They don't tell you how you will float through days." In Sloane, Summers has created a character and a story that hit me right in the chest. I felt an almost relentless ache for her, for what had compelled her to make her decision. And yet never does the writing feel gratuitous or melodramatic. It feels painfully realistic, all the more powerful for the things that are left unspoken, the profound silences between the scenes. This is the second book I've read by Courtney Summers and I wasn't dissapointed. Her first book I read was a realisitic contemporary about rape and bullying and this book is totally different from that.

and this. the ramifications of the last two sentences in this quote are quite easy to overlook if you haven't read the book, but: Kellie’s first picture book, Cloud Conductor (Wombat Books), came out in 2018. Since then, she has written several more books – and has some new ones coming soon! – including Yes! No (Little Pink Dog Books), Evie Is All Ears (Little Pink Dog Books), and How Do You Love?: The Five Ways We Show We Care (Feiwel & Friends, Macmillan US). It's also supposed to be an adventure and a decision maker and a decoration and a sculpture and a lot of things that you could actually have fun doing one-a-day to keep yourself in a creative mood. It's fine to set up the plot but just please stop going on and on and on and on and on and onnnnnn about it. And not only that, but all conversations from all the characters felt repetitive. The same shit kept coming up. "You killed our parents." "No I didn't." "Your fault." "No." "But it is your fault!" "It's not!" Over and over. Just stopppppp. Everyone was just so stupid and one dimensional. I apologize. This is a lot of ranting. The point is, I was bored to tears most of the time and the only reason why I finish stuff like this is because I want another notch on my books read in 2012 badge.Started in April 2019. Thoughts at the beginning are less relevant, so you may want to scroll towards the end of my review....
