review 1: Strong pacing and action make this YA/midgrade novel a welcome entry in the crowded zombie novel arena. The villains aren't really zombies, more like the aliens in the movie THEY LIVE--only certain kids can see them for what they are. Compared to some of the more recent YA books this one is a bit timid regarding language and violence but that didn't diminish the excitment as I kept turning pages. For teachers and parents, this might be a good 'boy book' (although there are some very strong female characters) or something that might engage reluctant readers.
review 2: 2.5 :\ Interesting concept, actually I love the concept. But I found the main character lacking, much less the other characters (besides Tom). The concept wasn't well-executed either. The sample dr... moreew me in - it really did. Most of my 3, 4, and 5 rated books I stay up until the wee hours of the morning reading until my mind is satisfied and the book ends. This one...I found it very easy to put down. And sleep. Or play The Sims 3. Or do dishes. Or clean. So, 2.5. All concept, with .5 for Tom. And maybe Booth. less
