Zom-B

By: Darren Shan

Narrated by: Emma Galvin

Length: 3 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's Summary

When news reports start appearing of a zombie outbreak in Ireland, B's racist father thinks it's a joke - but even if it isn't, he figures, it's ok to lose a few Micks.

B doesn't fully buy into Dad's racism, but figures it's easier to go along with it than to risk the fights and abuse that will surely follow sticking up for Muslims, blacks, or immigrants. And when dodging his fists doesn't work, B doesn't hesitate to take the piss out of kids at school with a few slaps or cruel remarks.

That is, until zombies attack the school. B is forced on a mad dash through the serpentine corridors of high school, making allegiances with anyone with enough gall to fight off their pursuers.

Exciting

The story is fast-paced, and there's never a dull moment. It's intense and performed very well by the narrator.

good book

it was a good action based good with a good set up and had some very powerful moments

Great zombie read.

Really worth the read, great zombie story, top notch narration. Would of been a full 5 stars if it hadn't been so short. If you are an avid zombie fiction reader, like me, look no further.

Just Ok.

although I wanted to lo e this book. the story is not as gripping as the authors other works. I will be going into the next book however, so take that as you will.

For real?

This book was too short for the price. $12 for less than 4 hours? The story was less about zombies and more about prejudice. The narrator, Emma Galvin, is the only reason I continued through the story. Emma Gslvin is great in all her books!

Zombies who can think.

When you first meet B, you won't like her very much. She is a racist and a bully, at first. Stick will her, and you find a resilient, tough and honorable individual. Don't let your first impression of B stop you from reading the rest of the series. Excellent zombie series.

should have been call Zom-bigot

if I wanted to listen to a racist child blame her racism on her dad I would read Ivana trumps tweets

Average

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Im not sure if i would recommend this book its average at best .. seems to have a lot of racist views in the book which is ok to an extent and the ending is sad but justified.. I will need to buy the next book to see if its worth moving threw the whole series..

stupid not so much about zombies

What disappointed you about Zom-B?
