Alice in Zombieland

While I continue to read the first book of the trilogy, I am getting more and more hooked. The kind of books that most interest me are the ones that involve many different situations and a powerful love between two of the characters. Alice and the leader of the crew she just joined have a connection like no other. Every morning when they look in each others eyes they both have a vision about the future. Many of them just involve their relationship but then others show a massive distruction of the world around them. No one quite understands this bond that is forming between Alice and Cole but no one can deny that are destined for each other. This part is starting to have the theme of  confusion. No one seems to know what's going on anymore no matter how hard they try to figure out the missing pieces. Everyone in the group has a situation and no one can fix them. Alice has been training very hard in order to show she is ready to fight but she can't seem to figure out how to cast her soul out of her body. The only way to fight the zombies is in spirit form not in body form. This process involves a lot of concentration and an ability that is hidden within all humans but it just isn't understandable. The author is leaving her readers in suspense as they read because she knows it will just keep them coming. Also, I came to relive that a symbol of a bunny seems to be very important to Alice. Everytime there is going to be a heard of zombies a bunny cloud appears that Alice only seems to notice. She doesn't know why this cloud is following her nor where it comes from but all she knows is that it helps her. So far, the detailing has sky rocketed through the roof and grabbing my attention even more. I can't put the book down once I start reading and can't wait to be done so I can find out what's happens to Alice and her friends in the next book.

Alice in Zombieland

This is a book about a girl named Alice and her family is a bit unusual. Her father claims that he sees "monsters" and does not allow her sister, mother, or herself out of the house once the sun goes down. One day Alice and her family went to her sisters dance recital for the first time and on the way home they got in an accident which caused her whole family to die and left her in critical condition. After this incident she can see the monsters her father feared the most, and as it turns out they are zombies. She finds a group of people at school that are just like her and they all stick together to find a way to stop them. I love this book, so far it is really interesting and has a great plot story. It's the kind of book that makes you not want to put it down and keeps you hooked. The theme of the book is trust. Throughout the whole book Alice has to try and trust the group at her school, which she has a hard time doing because her family never let anyone get close. It teaches us that there are reasons you should be cautious of some people but there are those few that can put a smile on your face. The author does a good job with making the book interesting and adding a lot of detail that makes you get a vivid picture in your head. There is only one thing that I would change about the book and that is the author should have made Alice not be so lost. Throughout the book she was very oblivious to everything that was going on around her and she was aggravated with her father because she didn't believe him with the monsters. Now, she regrets what she has done and is very lost. I get where the author is coming from I just feel that it is being dragged out too much and hope that it stops soon. All in all, it's a very good book and I would read it again. The theme was very obvious and it's and easy read that makes you feel all the emotions with the characters. The love, hate, friendships all feel to real and like you are in their little group.
