I’ve been a big fan of Darren Shan since Cirque du Freak. For such a young author, he never ceases to amaze me (no disrespect to young authors intended). His last series that I read, The City, surprised me with its twists. Zom-B is no exception. I’ve come to the conclusion that Shan delights in torturing his readers. And yes, he did it to me again in Zom-B. The twist at the end of this book was outstanding!
Zom-B is the story of a young thug growing up in a horrible family. B’s dad is a racist and a wife beater and B is subjected to similar physical brutality. In turn, B treats the other students at school just as badly. The reader doesn’t come to have much sympathy for B.
I can’t go into many more details without spoiling plot points, but obviously zombies are involved. Shan does a good job at describing the advent of the zombie outbreak, which some authors don’t do well.
This book also includes plenty of illustrations, which are a nice touch. Even in the Kindle version, the sketches look good.
My only complaint is that the book is too short. Since this series is new, there’s no way to tell how many books it will consist of. I have a feeling there will be many though, which means this series will end up being an expensive read. As a big fan of Shan’s though, I suppose I won’t be able to resist and I’ll end up paying for each of the books, regardless of how many there are.

Audiobook A Flag of Truce by Darren Shan
Good rip-roaring story, but it smacks you over the head, repeatedly, with the anti-bigot message. It’s a good, needed moral to the story but overdone. And 15 books is a bit much. Good read for zombie fans, lots of blood, guts and action. Story is a bit thin and moralizes too much, so 3 stars.
This book was highly recommended on good reads. I know it is geared for teens, but I like Zombie genre and read the summary that the zombies would be able to comprehend. I forced myself to finish the book and decided that Darren Shan’s writing is not my style. Maybe I need to read the rest of the books in the series. Either way, I won’t be following this story.

I’m not a zombie-fan. However, having read Shan’s pervious work I decided to give this book a chance. Turns out that I absoloutly love it.
I’ts true that there is not much action until the middle/the end of the book, but for me that didn’t matter. The first half of the book is very important for the rest of the story (important for the whole series).
At first I was a bit shocked of all the racism, disobedience, violence etc. This is a delicate subject, especially when it comes to children, but I think Shan handles it well. And as with Shan’s previous books, there is a message in this one – stand up to evil, fight evil.

ZOMBIES. That’s what you think this book is about, right? Wrong. It’s not really.
This book definitely didn’t “captivate” me, nor did it make me a fan of Darren Shan.
I’m taking an honors course on zombie literature, and this is the last book on our syllabus. I was happy that it was a short read, and written by an author I recognized-I remember going to see The Vampire’s Assistant when I was in middle school, and I was hoping it would be as exciting as that.
If this book hadn’t been a required read for school and so easy to read, I wouldn’t have finished it. I didn’t think the writing style was any good stylistically, nor was it any interesting to read.
The zombies in the book didn’t appear until near the end, except for on the news, which people talked about but didn’t believe. Most of the book was about B dealing with high school, an abusive family, and racism.
In the opening chapter, there is a dream or something, in which a boy named Brian is chased by zombies and then betrayed by a man who says he will help the kid. Based on this, you go through the entire book assuming that this was B’s dream, and that B is the kid in the dream: Brian. However, at the end, we find out that B is really a girl. Or at least that is what it seems like and other reviewers say. At first, I just thought B’s dad was going insane and forgetting he had a son and not a daughter. After B’s true gender is “revealed”, Shan does nothing more with this twist. And we don’t find out the significance of the dream (or was it not a dream?? idk), or who the Brian kid is.
The characters were mostly flat, boring, and predictable. B’s father is a drunk who abuses his wife and kid, and hates immigrants and black people. B is influenced by the father’s behaviour and only opposes him to protect his mother. B does terrible things to the non-white kids at school. B’s mother does nothing at all to stop her husband’s alcoholism, abuse, or violent plans against other people. She just sits there, gets hit, kisses the hand that abuses her (literally), and makes him food and cleans the house.
This book was written in 2012, for goodness sake, not the 1960s where women are inferior housewives who can only cook and clean, and everyone hates black people. I understand that these are still issues in some places today, but really?
In the end, pretty much everyone is dead, and B gets bitten. And then the book ends, only with “to be continued…” to satisfy and curiosity the reader might have. Which for me is none. I don’t care about the characters or the story.
I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone, and I’m definitely not reading any more from this author. The only positive thing is that it was short.
