octavia_cade 's review for:
Alice in Zombieland
by Gena Showalter
Oh dear. This is dire. Which is disappointing, because I loved the idea of it - Alice in Wonderland with zombies. But sadly, the Alice elements are minimal, and the tiny surviving shreds of that idea can't survive the absolute beating given to it by plot and characterisation. The plot is absolutely silly - the spirit separating from the body in order to fight zombies on the astral plane - but given that my eyes had already rolled out of my head at the most unbelievable set of teenage characters I've ever read, well. Silliness barely makes a dent. These people don't act like any teenagers I've ever met. Not on any level. And yeah, I get that this is a horror fantasy about zombies and spirits and white rabbit clouds so there's a certain level of you-can't-expect-realism-from-this, but the characters are all so deeply, laughably unrealistic. Worse, they're unpleasant. Pretty much all of them, in fact, and as is so frequently the case in YA the love interest is by far the most unpleasant of the lot.
I'm sorry, but at this point I'm rooting for the zombies.
