Down, Down, Down We Go

“He’s body slammed enough people to start a new country. And there could be a neighbouring city for the people he’s punched in the throat”
― Gena Showalter, Alice in Zombieland


I'm so thrilled that everyone has enjoyed this book!! As you all know I'm a huge fan of Alice In Wonderland, so when I saw this book at Barnes & Noble, I jumped at the chance to read it. Not to mention my equal but sometimes overly obsessive love of zombies.

I am also a big fan of Gena Showalter's Alien Huntress (YA) series. A few of her other series look just as intriguing as well.

At first I had a little trouble getting into this book, which I know is a shocker! But I just found the dialog when Ali firsts starts school a bit dry for me. But I persevered and when Ali begins to see the "creatures" as I call them, I was hooked, and I couldn't wait to get through this book.

Showalter brought such an interesting take to the whole zombie craze, and I welcome it! I think it is good when new ideas come into a fandom, it shakes things up and makes me a big fan.

I too am hoping for a happy ending for Cole and Ali, I had become a fan of their relationship ever since Ali's first vision of her Cole battling together. Kat is probably my second favorite character in this book, she was quirky and fun, and I think she brought an air of happiness to a world filled with danger and "creatures".

I am so looking forward to the sequel, which has a date! Through The Zombieglass is due out in September! Which is a long way off, so I will have to find a new series to occupy my time an interests :D
