Why do author's insist on assuming their audience consists entirely of morons? I picked this up a couple of weeks ago because it sounded interesting and was a Nook Free Friday's selection. I can't turn down free. Unfortunately, this is just another reminder of why certain books are offered up at no-cost. The author reworks phrases and replaces certain words with "zombie" as if this is clever or witty (see: zombie friends forever).

The superlative most appropriate for this piece is "tries too hard". The book was infinitely better than Pinelight and Linger though, so good job on that.… (lisätietoja)
