I can't say why, but I think it's the same reason you have for not really liking it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-86453318139852929062012-05-04T15:50:11.375-05:002012-05-04T15:50:11.375-05:00LOL!

And then you feel obligated to read them, even though you hated the first one...so irritating. I'm sorry this one didn't do it for you.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-41759878027336155042012-05-04T15:46:15.038-05:002012-05-04T15:46:15.038-05:00Thank goodness someone else found this book boring...Thank goodness someone else found this book boring.

I admit it's probably because of a) the title and b) the cover (just NOT a fan of those goggles!). Glad to know that I now have a slightly more reasonable justification for not reading it :-)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-89690247192033800452012-05-04T10:31:31.645-05:002012-05-04T10:31:31.645-05:00With a summary like that, I was sure this one was ...With a summary like that, I was sure this one was going to be a hit with you, but it sounds like the elements just weren't blended well. I would have to say that based on your review, I probably won't be reading this one. I do love me some zombies though! Thanks for being so candid. I appreciated reading your honest analysis.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-2068635468244790732012-05-04T07:54:34.216-05:002012-05-04T07:54:34.216-05:00I keep getting this book mixed up with Shipbreaker...I keep getting this book mixed up with Shipbreaker, which is really stupid on my part.<br /><br />It is a mystery as to why you didn't enjoy it but it happens.
