I don't know if I was just not in a zombie mood at the time or if the covers just didn't appeal to me. However, I read a interview with the author a little while ago and had a change of heart. I'm planning on picking them up and at least giving Generation Dead a try.Mishel (P.S.

I did have Generation Dead on my TBR list but seeing your final take has made me re-evaluate whether or not I absolutely have to read these books. They'll stay on the bottom of my list because there are truly so many other AMAZING books to get to first!!!
