Alice in Zombieland


Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter, 404 pages

This book came forcefully recommended by a coworker and potential blogger. I was intrigued by the title and was thinking it was a rewrite of Alice in Wonderland but with zombies. What I got was an entirely different zombie adventure.

Showalter also takes a unique approach in her zombies. These are zombies that can only be seen by select people. The zombies also are only inclined to chase people that can see them. This leads to a sort of war in which the highschool aged zombie hunters are forced to do battle with the zombies or get turned into zombies themselves.

The book was slightly more chic lit like than stuff I normally read but the fact that there were zombies helped. I am very interested to see where Showalter is going to take this zombie adventure series.
