    About this ebook

    B Smith and the other Angels are relieved to finally receive their first mission: to safely escort a group of human survivors from the zombie-infested streets of London to New Kirkham, a barricaded safe haven in the country. But after battling through crowds of undead monsters, B discovers that the survivors of the town don't necessarily represent the best of humanity. And when evil influences make their way to New Kirkham, unearthing demons from B's past, the humans will be forced to choose between being honorable and being safe.

      Zombies have attacked a small town in Ireland and around the world populations are trying to determine if the outbreak is real or just a hoax of some to promote a new movie. Zom-B follows young protagonist B, through the time of the first outbreak to later attacks on London. For those of you who don’t know, Darren Shan is considered a ‘Master of Horror’ and for those of you that have read his books you very well know that you will find gore and outrageous detail that can send chills down your spine, or in some cases, make you want to vomit. What I have found of the very few books I have read of Shan’s, is that he enjoys starting out with a bang and then trickling through the rest of the plot. He is also known for writing A LOT of books, I mean long series. For example, apparently Zom-B is the first of a set of 12… now I have to read all of them. My obsession will not let me read just one. Zom-B is an interesting book, while geared for horror and zombie lovers, it is also considered Young Adult. The only issues I have with this classification are the complex topics that the book brings to light. So now you are wondering about those issues right? Zom-B is wracked full of awkward racism, bullying, abusive parents, and then there are the zombies to boot. I know that a lot of contemporary YA deals with these issues but Shan uses them in almost a nonchalant fashion. B is racist, because B’s dad is racist…that is just how it is. I am not even sure if I liked or disliked the protagonist, one chapter was fine the next I wanted to pummel the character. I do admit it was thought-provoking the whole time.The plot was a bit of a disappointment. After the first chapter I thought I was going to enjoy bloody, violent, zombies eating brains descriptions and mass terror – like your normal zombie apocalypse story – but no, I got to follow around a character that sometimes is/ sometimes isn’t racist and kind of a jerk. Let me just say that, if you are looking for zombies, skip to after the half way mark. I did have some redeeming qualities, there is a major twist in the last few chapters, you learn some interesting things about B (my husband read this book first and so I knew the twist and I think it made me read the whole book more closely than he did—just sayin’). It was also short and had awesome pictures.

      I had never read a Zombie book, but Shan has really provided a great read! It's fast paced and leaves you wanting to read the next book. 
    • 4/5
      Some of the topics touched upon throughout this book are important for a growing mind to see, and the ultimate realization of these topics at the end is very clear and defined by the catastrophe surrounding the cast of characters. To me, as an adult reader, it was sort of annoying having to read about a father beating his wife and child, subsequently being an irrational racist, and violent at that (all things I really don't enjoy knowing any more about than I already do). The zombies aren't so much the focus of this book, and only serve as a comparison later on with other "monsters". Would like to see what kind of set up this book provides for the rest of the series, especially because I feel as if this first book didn't tell too much of a zombie story yet.
    • 5/5
      Just as amazing as all of Darren Shan's other book.This one of course, deals with zombies. When zombies attack a school, B and friends have to fight to stay alive.It was short, easily read in a few hours, but action packed. You are left with a major cliff hanger that will make you want to buy the next book right away. I would recommend to anyone who loves zombies and guts, or anyone who wants a quick read with some action.
    • 3/5
      Quite a good book! Very quick read, finished it in a couple of hours, but it's very quickly paced which made it much easier to read. Not a lot of time for stopping and thinking, which if done too much in a novel can make it a real bitch to read. It's a zombie story with a twist, the zombies are almost like the pets of these weird mutant people who are taking over the world. It's a little like an episode of Buffy especially with the zombies fingernails extending out of the skin and then becoming eating machines. There's no insight as to why the zombies came to be or what caused it. We read through the perspective of B (who I initially assumed was a boy but it is revealed at the end she is a girl, Becky) an only child with a heavily abusive and racist father. She's quite a messed up girl, skipping school, stealing, thuggish friends, that kind of thing but she has deeply scarring issues with her fathers racism. I had an issue with the blurb on the back which states "How do you react when confronted with your inner demons? What do you do when zombies attack? B Smith is about to find out."Only B Smith doesn't find out until 3/4 of the way into the novel, that's when zombies actually appear for the first time. There are reports on the news that everyone plays of as false, but the first time a zombie arrives is way too close to the end of the story for my liking. I also didn't like the constant references to killing zombies because of how they are killed in the movies. I'm sure that's true, but it just reads funny to me. Makes it less realistic to kill something the way it is killed on TV, unrealistic attempt at realism. The ending was slightly abrupt, which is to be expected since it's the first in a trilogy. I probably won't be reading further. It's not a bad book, it just didn't inspire me to keep reading. Perhaps if the ending was different.
