It's All Relative | 01 October 2014 |

n this second installment of the Zom-B series, B wakes alone in a small room inside an underground military complex with no memory of the events that unfolded since the attack on the school. During this book B learns more about the Zombies and those working inside the complex, scientists and soldiers, B begins to question what is now reality and the motives of the people in the complex.

SPOILER!!!!!


The revelation that B is a girl really surprised me, kudos to Darren Shan for keeping a complete book gender neutral.


In this book you really delve into B as a person, her feelings about becoming a Zombie and her views on her personality flaws and the steps she feels she needs to make to improve them.


More characters are introduced in this book, expanding the story dynamic. The reader learns more about what has become of the UK and about Zombies as a species.


This book also introduces a new villain, Mr Dowling, a creeping sadistic clown, I feel is going to be the real antagonist of the story series.


Once again another gorey story from Darren, mixed with terror and sadness, a thoroughly enjoyable read.
