Book Reviews of Zombie Blondes
Book Review: An interesting surprise with an unpredictable ending...
Summary: 4 Stars
"I can usually pick out the popular kids soon after setting foot into a new school. The girls, anyway. They wear popularity like a uniform for everyone to see. From their hairstyles to their expensive shoes. Everything about them is torn from the glossy pages of the latest teen fashion magazines. Everything about them is perfect. At least on the outside, anyway."
And so begins Zombie Blondes. It is clear from the opening line that this book has a message and it was sent in a really cool way that wasn't preachy. Brian James did a great job of mixing a "Twilight-Zone" style zombie story with a lesson for today's youth that is obsessed with looking like the perfect images in magazines and being like the popular kids in school!
I liked this book. It was a different story than what I've been reading lately and that was a needed change. Hannah wasn't the most likeable character but the situation for her at home with her Dad and their money issues was very realistic even though it was set in an unreal setting. And, the main theme of changing who you are to fit in with the "popular crowd" hits home for many young adults (I know it did for me at least).
I'm not gonna lie...this story doesn't have a happy ending. In fact I wanted to throw the book across the room (which I've been known to do) when I finished the last sentence. But it was a spooky, poetic ending that left the reader wondering. As this book shows us, in the end when you sacrifice who you really are to be a part of the crowd, you are basically killing your true self...and becoming zombie-like.
