I loved 'Generation Dead' - reminded me of 'Buffy' to a certain extent, with zombification being really just another level of scariness to add to the existing terrors of being a teen. Looking forward to reading the sequel.

I just can't feel it. I'm shit scared of zombies (although I love to read and watch them), and I just can't see them as romantic or anything. Vampires have always been sexy, so their undeadness isn't too gross, but zombies?

Although it's nice having a goth chick as lead character ^_^ I'm reading the sequel now ;)

I quite liked the romantic aspect, in that the attraction is (perversely) to the zombies' weirdness and 'otherness' rather than because they're sexy. That sums up half my teen relationships. :)

No comment ;)

I think zombie relationships might be a bit too far for this paranoid Nyssa (yes, I'm talking about myself in the third person), who felt happy when her friend mentioned how good her new apartment would be in case of a zombie infestation.

Really....there is absolutely nothing in this world scarier than a zombie. Or a bogan zombie. Ewwww!

Bogan zombie? Jason Fischer's been bit, then, has he? :)

oh gawd >< And I thought the puns in the book were bad! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually on the topic, what did you think about it being only teenagers and only in the US? It's a bit narrow a field to believe in without explanation.

I did raise an eyebrow at this at first, but I thought the issue was dealt with quite well simply by pointing out that nobody knew why this was so; making a genuine mystery of it (as it was to the reader), rather than ignoring the fact. Life's often like that - we 'characters' aren't at the pointy end of any given mystery, we just have to live with the consequences.

*sulks* But I love reading zombie theory!
