Helpful Score: 2

I expected this book to be a light-hearted story about zombies in high school. It was totally not what I expected. This story is a lesson in acceptance, persecution, bigotry, prejudice & racism (or bioism as the book called it for the zombies). Its a very "in your face", obvious lesson, but since it is a YA book I didnt expect the "deepness" of a book written for adults. If you are looking for a funny, light-hearted paranormal type book, this is really not it. That being said, I enjoyed the story, and it was still interesting and I cared about what was going to happen to the characters enough to keep reading. I just kept feeling like it was a bit overdone on trying to get the point accross kinda like an "after school special" on TV :)Overall, worth reading, but not worth full bookstore price. Get it on PBS!
