I'm giving this book four stars because the first half was so good. It's engrossing and terrifying, and I could not put it down. The second half was not as good for me, but it is still a great read, and I am recommending it to my kids! Read my full review at Gator Book Chomp.

•Read half way through and decided to stop. Won't pick it back up, don't care to keep reading and am glad to leave it.
•It was really annoying and none of it worked for me.
•My updates while reading the book show all of my frustrations, and boy were there a lot.
•A giant one that really ground my gears was the use of "fan" as an abbreviation for fantastic. ... No.

This is NOT a zombie novel.
There's none of this:
Or this:
The creatures are a curious invention and deserve much more than being referred to as zombies.

My mind is blown. In the After has to be one of the best debut novels I've read in a very long time. It kept me up all hours of the night and well into the morning. It's consuming and exciting and scary good. You'll sit there not wanting it to end. I need more!!

The story was pretty predictable in this book yet, I enjoyed it because the characters were well written. They reacted in ways that made sense to their surroundings and were well fleshed out. I liked that the two main characters lived in silence and talked in their version of sign language to avoid detection. I will probably read the next book in this series since it was left with room for the book to be a series starter.

Ooooooooooo...this was a great read. I really really felt drawn to the story and the characters...I was invested in what happened to them but also because of them. And, of course, Them. Best bad guys ever. And such a cool twist-surprise that I actually figured out a bit before it was officially revealed. Diggin' the whole vibe of the book and very much looking forward to the conclusion in June!

Lately I haven't been able to get into this type of book. But this book drew me in immediately and had me reading any chance I got. I even went and bought the second one so I don't have to wait for it to come in at my library.
It was wonderfully written and kept me entranced. Can't wait to start In the End!
