Life in suburbia has continued as normal since the zombies
took over the major urban cities. Sure, there are walls,
fences, and extra security in Salem, Oregon, but teenager
Courtney Hart continues to live life as normal. She still
goes to school, works her job at Bully Burger, and tries to
keep her drug dealing hidden from her father. Unfortunately,
the zombies are starting to change even if the civilians of
Salem are not. Will Courtney survive when things start
changing in ZOMBURBIA?
Courtney is not the easiest heroine to like. She's got an
ambitious plan to rid the world of the zombie infection, but
in the meantime is selling the drug, Vitamin Z. Vitamin Z is
made of zombie brains (which immediately made me go ewwww!)
and has some scary side effects. However, Adam Gallardo
shakes Courtney's world up so thoroughly and completely that
I couldn't help but feel just a smidgen of sympathy for her
by the conclusion. Yes, she makes some horrid decisions but
she more than pays for each and every one of them. Courtney
definitely matures the hard way and it will be interesting
to see how her personality evolves as a result of the
horrific challenges she faces in ZOMBURBIA.
ZOMBURBIA is a refreshingly original take on the aftermath
of the zombie apocalypse. Adam Gallardo envisions a world in
which non-infected persons have gone back to the business of
living, loving, and making bad choices. I can't wait to see
what happens when the second book comes out!
Lifeless. Slow-moving. Brain-dead.
Welcome To Zomburbia.
My name is Courtney Hart, and I’m here to tell you about
things that suck. Being born in a podunk town like Salem,
Oregon, for one. Living in a world infested with zombies?
That, too. And the meat heads I go to school with? I think
I’d actually take the undead over them most days. But I have
a plan to get out of here and move to New York. I just have
to keep selling Vitamin Z along with your fries at The Bully
Burger. The secret ingredient? Zombie brains.
I’ve noticed things are getting even worse lately, if that's
even possible. The zombies seem to be getting smarter and
faster. If I can avoid being arrested, eaten by shufflers,
or catching the eye of some stupid boy, I should be able to
make it through finals week still breathing. . .
