Dead City (Dead City #1)
This book is probably the best book I have ever read. It is thrilling, romantic, scary and heart breaking. In the end, Molly finds her dead mother- as a ZOMBIE!! Molly works at the morgue for the summer, when she is accepted into an Omega Team. Omega is a group of people, working together to fight off Zombies that have intentions for killing off every Omega there ever was. Past and Present. The Prime-O or Prime Omega, is in charge of everything. Molly, Alex, Grayson and Natalie have to find a
Zombies are not my favorite thing to read about, frankly, I find the whole concept rather disgusting. However, I found the premise of this series intriguing so I picked it up. And I'm glad I did. While I didn't enjoy the zombies (dripping flesh, yuck!), I did enjoy Molly and her friends. The plot here is rather different in that the most of the zombies aren't stupid, mindless creatures, but vary in terms of grossness and intelligence. There are three levels of 'undead', Level three are the
When Molly Bigelow drops a severed human finger into a zip lock bag thinking it is really cool, I couldn't help but think of my friend from childhood who had a spleen collection in her bedroom from all the animals she dissected in biology classes from high school and college. Nothing grossed her out. Nothing grosses Molly out either. She's not afraid of much. She helped her mom who was a forensic pathologist for the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner before dying of cancer two
Dead City is a smart zombie read filled with sarcastic humor, my favorite! Molly, the main character is low on friends at the super smart school she attends she doesnt quite fit in, which makes her both relatable and admirable at the same time she doesnt give in to staying friends with those who dont deserve her friendship.We dont see her on her own for too long though as the storyline picks up quickly and she is recruited into a zombie hunting group.This is no ordinary zombie hunting groups
Awesome. A gritty, urban, paranormal title that will be great for 5th grade and up. No romance (hooray!), strong smart girl main character, and best of all, it doesn't feel like an older YA title that got dumbed down for a younger audience. Happy dance! I can't wait to take this out to the schools when we do our pre-summer reading booktalks. Good dialog, great plot, and a "leave you on the edge of your seat" ending. I wanted a little more information on the actual how-people-become-zombies, but
When I picked up the book, I hadn't realized that it was NOT intended for a High School Junior who reads at an advanced level. And though I know it was not intended for a reader like me, it was an interesting read.The beginning of the book begins with a sort of prologue, which explains very little but introduces a nice action plot. It then throws you into the slow story of Molly Bigelow's life leading up to being a, yes, zombie hunter. And though the book has a slower, a bit of a boring, start,

A tween takes on undead New Yorkers in this paranormal action-adventure that “breathes new life into the zombie genre” (Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games). Most kids have enough to deal with between school, homework, extracurricular activities, and friends, but Molly Bigelow isn’t your typical tween. By day, Molly attends MIST—the Metropolitan Institute of Science and Technology—but it’s what she’s learning outside of school that sets her apart from her classmates. Molly is a zombie hunter, just like her mother. This, however, is news to Molly. Now she must come to terms with not only the idea that zombies exist, but also that they’re everywhere, and it’s her job to help police them and keep the peace. Sure, she’d like to be a regular kid, but “regular” just isn’t possible when it turns out the most revered (or feared, depending on your perspective) zombie hunter in the history of New York City is your mother. It seems Molly’s got some legendary footsteps to follow…Present Regarding Books Dead City (Dead City #1)

James Ponti is a liar. In his bio, he states that he has never fought a zombie, yet his knowledge of the different levels of NYC zombies...er, I mean "undead," suggests otherwise. In "Dead City," regular kid Molly Bigelow has a hard enough time being a motherless, socially inept geek who hangs out at the morgue in her spare time. To suddenly find out she has inherited a legacy as both a zombie...um, undead protector and police thrusts her into situations that she is just not emotionally ready toThis book is probably the best book I have ever read.
