Zom-B by Darren Shan (Jenea)

Zom-B is a radical new series about a zombie apocalypse, told in the first person by one of its victims. The series combines classic Shan action with a fiendishly twisting plot and hard-hitting and thought-provoking moral questions dealing with racism, abuse of power and more. This is challenging material, which will captivate existing Shan fans and bring in many new ones. As Darren says, "It's a big, sprawling, vicious tale...a grisly piece of escapism, and a barbed look at the world in which we live. Each book in the series is short, fast-paced and bloody. A high body-count is guaranteed!"

The above is not the synopsis I read. Had I read this one I never would have picked up the book in the first place (thank goodness I checked it out of the library and did't waste MY money on it).

Looking at this book, I thought it was gonna be like, the bomb-diggity (so good I had to say bomb-diggity). I mean how could you not? The cover is amazing and it says "The Master of Horror" at the bottom. I was soooooooo wrong. 

Not only did most of the book not even include zombies, the main character was an extremely racist boy/girl (I say that because the gender was apparently a major plot twist in the book. I kind of thought it was obvious but hey, guess it was my own intuition). And when I say racist, I mean white power, Nazi-Germany, Aryian RACIST. I just could not understand how this guy has a strong fan base and this book is so popular when sucks so hard.

I BEG OF YOU. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. SAVE YOURSELF THE MISERY.
