Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
What's it about?:
In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human.
My thoughts:
Rot & Ruin is offically one of my favorite YA books ever. If you liked The Forest of Hands and Teeth (another YA Zombie Series) then you have to check out this book and upcoming series. TFOHAT doesn't even come close to being as good as R&R.
I like that you actually find how (for the most part) the Zombies came to be and how the towns came to be. I also like that the Zombies are actually the main focus and not just put on the back burner. However, you get a really good feel for the main character, his point of view and his relationships with friends and family. R&R is heart breaking but it is also very hopeful.
If you want to read any YA Zombie series, I recommend giving this book a try. I can't wait until the next book comes out.
