review 1: One of these days I will learn not to pick up the books my tween daughter leaves laying around. This one was so bad she didn't even finish it. I was too stubborn not to, but I really remember the reading materials when I was that age being much more interesting and well written.Time to track down some of the Trixie Belden library for her I do believe. I can't bring myself to bother trying to write a synopsis of this story.
review 2: This was a fun book about Megan Murry, a girl who has become infected with zombitus and is sent to Zombie Academy (ZA). The more emotional she becomes, the faster the disease progresses, and when the new cure for zombitus is stolen and Megan believes the Zom-B's (Brooke, Brenda, Betsy - aka, the Mean Ghouls) stole the cure, s... morehe loses it emotionally. She gets so mad at everyone, alienating her friends, and accelerating her disease: Her teeth sharpen, her legs lock up...uhhhhh, uhhhhh. It was actually quite painful watching Megan self-destruct, but it was very real. People really can do crazy things when they're upset. The ever evolving social dynamics are typical of school and fun to watch. The mystery ends with the participation of everyone in Megan's life. And while things work out on every level, it's not sappy. I do feel sad for one certain boy (whom I won't name here) as I wish he would have been invited to participate in life outside of Zombis Academy. Maybe in the next book?!? less
