This school year, my favorite book that I’ve read is Zom-B, by Darren Shan. The genre of my book is obviously a fantasy, giving the title name. I can tell this book is a fantasy because there is a zombie outbreak involved in the story and of course, zombies are not real. In Zom-B we meet Brian, known as “B” to family and friends. Brian is a "semi-racist" child who takes on that title from his racist dad. In the United States, there are reports of zombies in different areas and encounters taking place, along with countless deaths. As time goes by before people can even notice, zombies have infested B's town. Brian, his friends, and his dad all join together to survive the apocalypse. Along their journey, they will have to try to overcome obstacles and many sacrifices, but will they win?
Overall, I think that Zom-B by Darren Shan is a really great book with a very interesting plot, aside from the racist acts by Brian and his dad. Although, you do see Brian grow from his racist times that contributed to his character development. Another reason I like this book is because of the amount of action packed pages in it that keeps the reader entertained and attached to the story. Lastly, I can say that this book also indeed keeps the reader on the edge of their seat while reading and the author makes the reader tensed up and stressed because you never know what will happen. In conclusion, in my opinion, I think that this story is a great read for adolescents in middle school throughout high school also because of the detailed words and stated gore.
