♥ zombies!
Jun. 3rd, 2009 08:00 amYesterday I read The Forest of Hands and Teeth.

And loved it. Until I started thinking about it. And then I still loved it, but I did have to call bullshit on something. Now, with a title like that, you do wonder how I ever missed the fact that I was heading squarely into zombie territory. I mean, really. But yeah, I didn't know and it's for the best because it was a fun ride.
( But spoilers ahead )
Thing is, by the third or fourth page, you could already imagine the entire village and the creeping dread and horror of the wall o' zombies just outside the fence. It's not until the adrenaline rush of the book ends that you stop and think wait... I laughed, I cried, I muttered, "bull. shit."
Recommended, if only so you can explain that little issue I'm having.
