Never Slow Dance with A Zombie
Author: E. Van Lowe
Paperback: 256 pages
Publisher: Tor Teen (August 18, 2009)

My Rating: 2.5 out of 5

Summary:
Margot is a really fun character. She forges notes from her parents to get out of gym that have ridiculous reasons. The reasons were hilarious for her to get out of gym were pretty hilarious. I found myself chuckling more than once.

Her best friend Sybil was also pretty awesome. She loves Tom Jones and is always really nice. Sometimes she's so nice that Margot can't believe that she's actually from planet Earth.

This book didn't click with me, and I don't know why. I tried really hard to like it, but I think it just wasn't for me. Although I really did like the way that E. Van Lowe used the zombie cliques to kind of show that most cliques are mindless zombies anyway, all following one leader who is also a mindless creature. That to me was a really awesome way of showing that.

I would recommend this book for kids in middle school, it would be a great teaching tool and a good way to open up discussion on hanging out with people outside of your cliques.

For Zombie Appreciation week, I decided to Re-post and take another look at my first review of Generation Dead by Daniel Waters. I actually had the privilege of meeting Daniel Waters a couple of months back, and was instantly charmed by him. For someone who writes about zombies, he was a very normal guy!

My original review of Generation Dead is located HERE.

I recently re read this book and realized that I really do like it. It was a great read, that really hits on how people can react to things that are different or strange to them. And as I pointed out in the original review, Daniel Waters really had a good grasp on how a teenager would react to situations. I would give it a slightly higher rating as well. Instead of a 3 out of 5, I would change it to a 4 out of 5.

Now for the fun part though! This is your chance to win some awesome Generation Dead prizes
