Dissapointment
This book was just kind of OK for me. The writing syle was terrible, and the plotline was unbelieveable at times. Ally is a mean girl. I didnt like any of the characters at all. It sais the reading level for this book is ages 9-12, but theres tons of refereances to sex and alcohol. I suppose i figured out the moral of this book is to live life to the fullest because you never know when it will end... or perhapps, accepting people for who they are.... or even not to build your life entirely around the first person you fall in love with????? The only good part about this book was the cover. I didnt connect with the main character pssibly because it was a male author writing from a female;s point of view. Nice try, but it just didnt do it for me.
Ally (Algonquin - Al Gonk Quin) is a superficial mean girl that works for the school paper in her ho-hum town of Iowa. Set in the era where Zombies and Vampires live amoung humans, its considered a big deal if you are one of the lucky ones to date a post-human.
Ally falls in love with Doug, (a stand-in singer for a really awful band) and falls instantly in love with him because he shares her taste in music. After like one date she is madly in love with him, despite his foul smell and pale skin.
Rumors start to fly around school that hes a post-human zombie and just like that, she accepts him. Her school counselor has other plans for her. Her counselor is determined to turn Ally into a vampire, because its socially unacceptable for humans to date the undead.
Will Ally throw her life away for a zombie?

Vampires, werewolves, and zombies, OH MY!
Well, for Alley Rhodes it's the norm, ever since all the undead and bloodsuckers revealed themselves to the town. While all the girls are swooning over the dark and brooding vampires, and the boys are trying to be like the vampires, Alley isn't going for it. Vampires are so played out and extremely arrogant - and Alley doesn't mind putting them in their place every so often.
A member of the school's online newspaper, and the author of the music column, Alley is known for her cleverness and touch of attitude.
When she hears she has to go review a band, The Sorry Marios, Alley already knows what's in store for the night. Since it features one of the basketball players from school, she knows it's going to suck. Alley even knows she's going to start off the article ahead of time, finish the rest after listening to a couple of songs, and leave while she still has her hearing intact.
What Alley didn't expect was the new front man of the band, Doug, who she was completely drawn to from the very first sighting and who knew who Cole Porter and Leonard Cohen were.
Has Alley finally found the one? Only one way to find out, and after a couple of odd but enjoyable dates, Alley is really starting to like Doug, just as the popular kids are beginning to like Alley. Everything seems perfect. Except how to explain Doug's grey skin, the constant meds he takes, and the continuous speak of him being a zombie?
I KISSED A ZOMBIE, AND I LIKED IT is a quick and hilarious take on the vampire and zombie craze. While Alley is faced with the problems of trying to get out of a small town while dealing with a zombie boyfriend, a twist at the end will have your jaw dropping!
