The Reapers are the Angels - Teen Book Review

The world is infested with zombies. There are a few groups of people fighting against them, and hoping to survive. Temple, a young girl, is on the run - from her past, from the zombies, and from a vengeful killer. She travels restlessly from place to place, killing zombies and looking for some place she can settle. This is a story of her journey through the only world she's ever known.

I rated this book a 3.5 because it was a good read in some aspects, but it fell a bit short in others. There was no real plot to speak of - it was more like a series of diary entries with a few smaller plots built in. The ending was very disappointing; it was almost as if the author didn't know how to end the story so he resorted to the ending that he chose. However, not everything in this book was bad, and it has some good merits. Temple was a good believable character, a strong heroine with a fatal flaw. This book dealt a lot with big, philosophical ideas, and I think there are a few passages and ideas in this book that are worth reading. I don't think you should read this book for an exciting story, but more for the life lessons and ideas and bigger questions that are asked. You can learn a lot from this book.
