I loved it up until the open ending.

At least, I know I always appreciate it when the character development is done well. Dang, it really sounds like Courtney Summers did a great job with this one!

But as I have complete faith in your taste in books, I will so definitely give this one a shot.Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-56003467967388733122012-06-11T23:04:49.717-04:002012-06-11T23:04:49.717-04:00Huh, I didn't expect a high rating from you on...Huh, I didn't expect a high rating from you on this one Z due to the zombies aspect. I'm not a zombie girl either, but if you get over that hurdle then I should make an effort to do so too and pick this one up. The only zombie book I liked was "Forest of Hands and Teeth" though I did have wacked out dreams afterwards. I think I might wait for Halloween to read this one.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-19374991170310759282012-06-11T17:53:00.344-04:002012-06-11T17:53:00.344-04:00It's like you wrote this review just for me be...It's like you wrote this review just for me because I've been trying to find a zombie book that I might like, and let me tell you, it hasn't easy. LOL<br /><br />I love it when the secondary characters are more than just back ground noise. I have yet to read a Summers novel and I think I might start with this one.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-82623908067319636872012-06-11T17:08:29.075-04:002012-06-11T17:08:29.075-04:00OH MY GOD. *tries to unread the cover comments* AH...OH MY GOD. *tries to unread the cover comments* AH. She kills herself?! I guess it's good that I'm not a zombie fan and that I probably wouldn't read this book anyway (though I was really considering it). I've read so many amazing things about this book, but I just really don't like zombies. However, fabulous review, Zahida! :) I'm glad you enjoyed this book. Hopefully you'll love Courtney's other books as well!Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678009807863670317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-13411371231769731952012-06-11T16:19:53.965-04:002012-06-11T16:19:53.965-04:00Z, we're like twins today!

Two Canadian girls posting about a Canadian author book with a 4.5 rating and a whole lot of love for it -- think anyone will believe us when we say it wasn't planned? :') I loved the beginning of This is Not a Test so much too because of how quickly we got attached to Sloane! <br /><br />Amazing review, Z! :) <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-63432488227247801822012-06-11T14:37:18.275-04:002012-06-11T14:37:18.275-04:00YEAH!!!
