About book The Zombie Chasers (2010)

What a fun book! I was surprised at the writing quality. Some sentences really were rather poetic. I really liked the artwork and how it was worked into the text. I think kids will adore this book. It's funny, gory, goofy, and the artwork is pretty great. I found the characters to be a little flat at times and I was looking for a stronger ending, although it was obviously only the first book in the series. Fun read, though. Overall, this is a pretty fun little zombie-adventure for kids. If you're purchasing it for a child, keep in mind that as a zombie-adventure, it gets pretty violent and gross (which I think is pretty awesome! Kids love violence! Whatever makes them read, man).Sidenote, many of the jokes in this book reference pop-culture from the 80's and many children will not get them. I guess the 80's jokes are meant to entertain parents, which is fine, but kids reading this on their own are often going to be confused about what the characters in the book are saying. It's not a huge issue though.The little plot twists at the end weren't bad though. Author does some nice foreshadowing.
