LitPick Review
We have Phoebe who is your average high school Goth, her best friend Margi who is just like her, Adam her other best friend who is a star football player, and then there is Tommy a "living impaired". The story takes place at a high school where some strange happening is occurring where sometimes when a teenager dies they come back to life for some unknown reason. They are known as "zombies", "living impaired", and "biotically different". There are people in this book that support the "zombies", there are others that can deal with them, and others that can't stand them.... Some of them live regular lives, they eat, walk, talk, go to school, and some are a little slow. The main topic in the story is the love triangle between Phoebe, Adam, and Tommy. However there are many other characters such as Margi, Pete, Karen, and Colette that play a major role.
Opinion:
Generation Dead starts out as an ok book that somewhat keeps your interest. It definitely is not your regular novel! Throughout this book though it started to get a little dull but by the last few chapters I got my interest back and the ending was phenomenal! About the last 150 pages I couldn't put it down! There was suspense, intense emotions, and just amazing lines that gave me chills! Some parts were a little confusing but it was just because the plot was so different! This was Daniel Walters first book and there may be some spots where it could have been better, but overall it was good! Walters has a way of writing where he can connect to teenagers! I hope there is a sequel to this book because it definitely leaves you wondering what is going to happen next... Be sure to pick this up for a summer read!
