The Girl With All the Gifts

Disclaimer: I am not a big fan of zombie books/movies. Zombies, by and large, are simply not all that interesting. Arguably, zombie stories are not really about the zombies though - they are about the people trying to survive during an apocalyptic event. The Girl With All the Gifts puts an interesting spin on the genre and was therefore a nice surprise.

This book is a quick read that features well-drawn characters and contains enough action, conflict, and pathos to hold the reader's interest. I can easily recommend it even for people like me that don't generally have much interest in zombie tales.
