The book's as much about his growth as a person as it is about the growth of his worldview.<br /><br />We just sold the movie rights to it. See you at the cinema!Jonathan Maberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11489331249116984553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-49109424546377152572012-08-27T12:36:04.383-06:002012-08-27T12:36:04.383-06:00Ah this book.

I am one that doesn't read many zombie books, so I think I will take your advice. Thanks for the fair warning about the beginning. Good to know my liking for the characters will come. <br /><br />Congrats on winning a book you ended up liking a lot. :)Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-19273769365546576292012-08-27T09:08:58.876-06:002012-08-27T09:08:58.876-06:00"The ones who give conscious thought to being..."The ones who give conscious thought to being evil. The zombies do it mindlessly; the humans with full thought and action."<br /><br />LOVE those lines Melissa! In books like this it's always the humans that surprise me with what they're capable of, never the monsters. I've heard amazing things about this series, and I think I might even give it a try since you said it might work for those who don't really like zombies:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-19361982035496219942012-08-27T08:42:57.180-06:002012-08-27T08:42:57.180-06:00YEAH!I am so glad that you liked it!

You're right...I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-) <br />You're right Benny isn't very relatable in the beginning, but once he understands the world better he seems to be better. Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232105105688358961noreply@blogger.com
