Description In Pursuance Of Books The Reapers are the Angels (Reapers #1)
Zombies have infested a fallen America. A young girl named Temple is on the run. Haunted by her past and pursued by a killer, Temple is surrounded by death and danger, hoping to be set free. For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself - and keeping her demons inside. She can't remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her on a personal journey toward redemption. Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks.

I can't get over the fact that I'm giving 5 stars to a zombie book. I loathe the entire zombie genre...the utter impossibility of corpses lurching around trying to snack on regular folks is laughable in the extreme. Even if zombies were real, six fat bald men with spiked clubs could wipe out the entire zombie nation without having to put down their beverages. The creatures are so slow and dull-witted that children can elude them without breaking into a trot...how scary is that? And there are soI had this crazy dream about zombies the other night. I cant remember a goddamn thing about it now, and the aftermath is a little fuzzy, but apparently when I woke up I was convinced that they were in the house, because I shot straight up in bed and screamed, THEYRE COMING UP THE STAIRS! My fiancé had no idea that Id been dreaming and thought that someone had broken into the house. Chaos ensued. Now before you go thinking, Oh that poor man let me tell you that this is rare for me. Like maybe
Ok, I think I have calmed down enough to rate this book. I almost want to give it all the stars but (view spoiler)[ I just can't after that ending. My Temple. :( (hide spoiler)].I'm not going to give this a proper review, but I will say that this book was damn good. Damn good. I have no idea why it is shelved as YA, though. Totally *not* YA. But Temple is 15, so I guess people automatically assume that means it's YA. Temple is one of the BEST female protagonists I have EVER read. She is fucking
AH and Regina did an excellent review of this book here...http://badassbookreviews.com/review-t...or you can read my much less exciting review below...4.5 stars out of 5If you could take all the strong, fearless, intelligent, compassionate female characters from all the books you have read, you'll come close to Temple's character.If you take all the screwed up, guilt ridden, angry, sad female characters from the books you have read, you'll come close to Temple's character.Temple will go down as
This is probably going to be the vaguest, wishy-washiest review Ive written. But I find that its imperative not to go into too much detail with this one. If youve read it or when youve read it, youll probably understand why Im reluctant to go into too much detail. This book asks a lot of questions and doesnt offer a lot of answers and thats not necessarily a bad thing. Books are supposed to make you think and this one certainly does.If you do want a crack at some answers Lisa and Catie both do a
The Reapers are the Angels is one of those books which I find extremely difficult to review because whatever I might say about it, it is never enough and it sounds banal.Right from page 1, it was clear to me that this book stands in a category of its own in respect to YA lit - but then, can it even be considered YA lit? One sure thing I can say is that this is literature.In fact, one of the traits which make this book really stand out is certainly the quality of its writing: metaphorical,
Absolutely one of the WORST books I've ever read. The plot is inspired, but its butchered by piss poor authorship & the biggest fuck up of an editor on the planet! It makes the book not even worth the paper that you wipe your butt with!25 years AFTER the zombies rise we still have electricity, Coke, ice, power enough to run elevators, & plenty of gasoline.Diesel engines still cross the country. The power grids are all still intact, apparently humans don't need to like, SERVICE the
