At first I was a bit sad that we wouldn't get to see it from Gabry's point of view, I wanted to know more about her and what happened after the end of The Dead Tossed Waves but I quickly got over that once I got to know Annah and her story. I really admired Annah for her courage and will to live, I mean this girl spends most of her time and spent pretty much years on her own waiting for Elias and she's still not willing to give up. I would've been freaking out in some of these scenes in the book and locked myself in a closet shaking with fear waiting for death, yeah, I'm a wuss. Not Annah, she was willing to fight her way to survive and sacrifice herself for her loved ones if she had to, the fact that she never gives up throughout the whole book is why I admire her so much.Francehttp://process4reality.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-53610845421769762452011-08-04T03:08:26.762+02:002011-08-04T03:08:26.762+02:00Ohhhh and for the record I totally thought it was ...Ohhhh and for the record I totally thought it was based on the West coast too. >.<Julia @ That Hapa Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04961460353502898001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-66009894813752124122011-08-04T03:08:07.100+02:002011-08-04T03:08:07.100+02:00I wasn't a HUGE fan of the other books in this...I wasn't a HUGE fan of the other books in this trilogy, but I definitely need to give this one a read, if just to find closure.

I felt like Annah was so whiny and annoying through a lot of it and I agree with you-I don't think that she would be as worried about her looks when she has to fight zombies everyday. Overall though, I am addicted to Carrie Ryan's world and I hope she writes more. I am loving your Dystopian August!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794554270250176202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-74050229168472217132011-08-02T19:04:49.439+02:002011-08-02T19:04:49.439+02:00I don't think this series is for me, but I wan...I don't think this series is for me, but I want to try it since the author is from the area we live in.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-79124464513062041872011-08-02T18:45:43.380+02:002011-08-02T18:45:43.380+02:00My favorite book by far in this series was The Dea...My favorite book by far in this series was The Dead-Tossed Waves.

I have never really been exposed to zombie literature, though I am finding out recently that I like all sorts of paranormal, urban fantasy, and fantasy, so these books should be a good choice for me. It will be interesting to see what I think of these as the series winds on.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-38943963621804435902011-08-02T16:21:28.455+02:002011-08-02T16:21:28.455+02:00When I read the first book in this series, I feel ...When I read the first book in this series, I feel in love. I think it was actually my first zombie read as well. Then the second book blew me away.
