Teen Lit
I just finished a series of teen zombie romance novels. Yep. They had the same painful issues that most teen romance novels have, in that the female characters give me headaches. Holy crap do they ever fall in lurrrveee at the drop of a hat, and become absurdly devoted in a very short amount of time, but i feel that it annoys me less when the background to story is OH MY GOD WE COULD DIE AT ANY MOMENT.
I got two major things out of these books though:
1) I love zombie books that deal with the "what happens two/three generations AFTER the zombies?"
2) Teen novels do not make you wade through chapters upon chapters of description before the action starts. The description is built in to the plot much more seamlessly... though i did find myself wanting a little more back story at times.
I'm having a fundamental zombie challenge though. Do zombies decay? Could a zombie virus prevent decay to the level that after two generations of quarentine, you could still be overrun by zombie hoardes? Additionally, there was an interesting twist of the zombies being "downed" when there were no humans around to bite, and the zombies did not live off of human flesh, but instead were driven to infect people and would ignore you if you were infected. Very interesting take on things... usually zombie books are all about OMNOM BRAIINS.
Now, to finish the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I need a job in a school library SO BAD.
