Book Review - Generation Dead by Dan Waters

What would happen if dead teenagers started coming back to life? They were able to go to school and sit in class, except they were zombies. How would you feel if the zombies were going to your school?
Phoebe goes to the school with the highest zombie population. She stays away from them, except one "living impaired" person catches her eye. He interests her; but what will happen if she started dating him? Would everyone be okay with that? No - some people hate it and are willing to do anything to stop them.
Great story that will keep you interested!

Book Review -- The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson



Jenna knows her name is Jenna Fox because that is what her parents told her when she woke up after the "accident". She knows they are her parents because they told her that too. She doesn't remember Boston, where she grew up, or why she and her mother moved to California two weeks ago right before she woke up from her coma, while her father remained in Boston.

Her mother says her memories will start coming back. Jenna thinks it's strange that she is still only drinking nutrients and not allowed to eat solid food. She can remember details of the French Revolution and recite 19th century poetry word for word... but she can't remember that she was a ballerina or that she loved the color blue. Her parents have ominous nightly phone calls. She is compelled to do whatever her mother tells her even when she does not want to.

When she is allowed to go to a charter school nearby, she begins to notice other peculiarities about herself. She is beginning to believe her parents are hiding something from her and... that she may not be who they say she is.

This book will prompt some heavy thought on the values, morals, and ethical practices in society. It is an intriguing story that I could not put down.
