The Undying Apathy Of Imogen Shroud by Ben White

Zombies vs. Apathetic Teenager = Fun Read

Fun book! This is a fast-paced piece of fiction all about zombies. While the main character is under 21, this is more of an adult book rather than a young adult (but maybe good for over 13). The writer had me hooked from the first chapter, and it was hard to put down once I started reading it. I haven't read much 'zombie' books, but this one was a fun read.

The main character is 17-year old Imogen, who doesn't conform to society & does her own thing, is afraid to leave her bedroom after a failed love affair at 15, and has a little brother who idolizes her. Her mother gives little attention to the care of the household, and while her grandfather is practically a pervert who bordlines on senile, she continues to visit him and get him books he enjoys. All this is a precursor to her survival mode once the zombies appear. The real action starts once Imogen and her brother attend a comic-com festival.

All in all, a great book, and I enjoyed Ben White's writing style. Looking forward to his next book. 

 

Enjoy,
