Can this man ever write a bad book? No. Not even changing format can put a dent in the storytelling of Westerfeld. This story ends way too soon, and I want more so please write faster. What is the spill zone? Not sure exactly yet, but something happened. And now the residents are zombie want-to-be’s and the animals can talk to you. Plus there is this energy and things stand on their own. Most who were in the zone the day of the accident did not survive as human. Except for a few kids, such as our heroines little sister. Addison makes a life for herself and her sister by braving the spill zone to take pictures and selling them to the highest bidder. When one of her collectors gives her a chance to make more money then she would need to move, she takes the chance. But the one thing we don’t know is if she will survive. Once again, I say write FASTER! I want to know what happens next.
