#65: The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

I’m not much for zombies usually, but there’s been so much buzz around Carrie Ryan’s debut YA novel, The Forest of Hands and Teeth, that when the opportunity came up to borrow an ARC I jumped on it and pretty much devoured the whole thing in a day and a half, and while I think that there are some things that could be improved upon—Mary, the narrator, was very well-developed, but her relationships with the other characters, particularly her best friend and her love interest, Travis, were a little spotty—it was a terrifying, sad book, which are my absolute favorite kind, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of what Ryan has in store for Mary, or at least her world.
