Loved the 1st half of this book but was less than thrilled about the last half. So much so that I doubt highly I will buy next book. ( )

CW: MC goes off to the wilderness to spread her parents ashes. She has a brain tumour and by making this trip she knows she may die as she is not near medical treatment. ( )

Cuando Alex se adentra en el bosque tiene diecisiete años, un tumor cerebral, una pistola... y una única idea en mente. Entonces se topa con un anciano y su nieta Ellie, una niña que acaba de perder a su padre en la guerra de Iraq. Justo cuando están a punto de separarse, un zumbido comienza a extenderse por el lugar y un fuerte dolor se apodera de Alex. Después, todo se vuelve extraño: pájaros muertos llueven del cielo, los aparatos electrónicos dejan de funcionar... Cuando por fin el dolor cesa, el abuelo ha muerto y Alex está sola con Ellie. Y en el bosque se oyen disparos.

I began reading this with great excitement (such a cool cover! such a strong beginning! good writing!) and my heart went SPLAT when I realized it was a zombie book. I. Cannot. Read. Zombie. Books. Most are too scary for me (yeah, I'm a big baby, but still).

So I enjoyed, really enjoyed, what I read, but I put it down when the flesh eating began. File Under: Skimmed. ( )

That was one messed up book. ( )
