Generation dead seller... July 21, 2008
I thought this would be a cheesy teenage book, but when i read it, how i was proved wrong. It entwines horror, comedy, romance all into one book and one storyline making it just a perfect book for many types of readers.
It also has a conflict and tragic aura due to the dislike of the 'living impaired' So if your a parent you know that your child will learn something out of it in a brill way as the book is read it cover to cover!
Great!! July 10, 2008
This book is great!!
To me this book relates to two things...The moral issues raised in Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' and the absolute unconditional love for some one who is totally wrong for you as shown in the fantastic 'Twilight' series by Stephenie Meyer.
At times this book can be quite chilling and most definately SHOULD be put under the horror catagory. Despite this the love in it is fabulous as well as the mysteries that are presented to you.
The ending was not one that I would personally agree with...Unless there is to be a sequel and I really hope there shall be!!
Excellent Contemporary Children's Horror July 8, 2008
My teenage son loved this book and I suspect it will become very popular.
All over America, teenagers who die aren't staying dead. Nobody knows why, but dead adolescents are coming back to life. And some of them are at the main protaganist's (Phoebe)school ...
Generation Dead is immensely compelling. It taps into the contemporary fashion for all things horror. Children's literature is full of fantasy books with demons and monsters, werewolves and vampires and zombies. This, however, is more a book about prejudice and about how we treat minority groups in our societies. It's also about young and blighted love. There are no fantasy tropes - the style is kitchen sink drama with humour. This original blend of subject and style works remarkably well.
Waters has an excellent ear for dialogue and taps successfully into the adolescent psyche - Phoebe, Adam and friends are all deeply credible characters. And so are the zombies.
This book did rather creep me out but a great many teenagers are going to love it
