GENERATION DEAD
Something strange is happening. Teenagers who die aren't staying dead; they're coming back to life. Termed 'living impaired' or 'differently biotic', there are lots of conspiracy theories to explain this new phenomenon. But as their numbers keep on growing, so does the discomfort of the living. When Phoebe falls for Tommy Williams, a newly raised zombie, her best friend and star of the football team, Adam, has conflicting emotions. And when Tommy decides to try out for the football team, it sets off a chain of events that escalates into deadly violence.

KISS OF LIFE
When Adam takes a bullet for Phoebe, it proves everyone right - Adam is in love with her. And now that he's come back to life, Phoebe's presence may be more important than ever. They say that a zombie can come back from death faster if they're loved...and kissed - which means Phoebe has to say goodbye to Tommy Williams, the other zombie in her life

Sarah, Noella and i will be starting the compilation - Dead kiss, on the 11th of March, 2014. Everyone is welcome to join. :)

Starting now. :)

Chapter 3 - This is okay so far, but it's nothing amazing. Hopefully it picks up a bit.

Chapter 7 - I'm quite bored. :(

I'm up to page 38 (view spoiler)[ Do these idiots not realise that when they talk about 'doing' one of the 'living impaired' they're basically thinking about necrophilia? (hide spoiler)]

Ick.

Oh dear

Page 18
(view spoiler)[Pete is such a douche. Talking about being Alpha and getting it on with college girls all summer long :\ (hide spoiler)]

P154 - 155 - (view spoiler)[ What lovely emails... not. (hide spoiler)]

P220 - (view spoiler)[ "As soon as i clear my colon" He could have just said he's ill, instead of going into detail. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ that poem was rubbish. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ what the heck is phoebe doing giving poems to the dead kid? (hide spoiler)]

chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ and someone uses the word 'necrophilia' - glad I'm not the only one to think that! what is wrong with these people? I mean I don't think they should be beating the dead kid up with their baseball bats, but having a reltionship with one of them doesn't sound like a good idea. (hide spoiler)]

end of chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ I'm not surprised that people burned them. (hide spoiler)]
I'm putting this down now as I want to do my nails ☺

P308 - I am so freaking bored! 500 pages to go...

oh dear!

This is pretty dull. I'm on page 253 (view spoiler)[ all those lessons about the 'biotically different' or whatever they're calling them was really dull, and phoebe being attracted to tommy is a bit wrong. he may be human, or he might have been, but he is dead now. the people who are calling it necrophilia aren't wrong. (hide spoiler)]

p296 (view spoiler)[ I'm surprised he was allowed a second funeral. that must be one priest who doesn't think that the zombies are the start of the apocalypse. (hide spoiler)]

p302 (view spoiler)[ i thought it was pretty obvious that pete was the killer. how stupid are they not to have figured that out already? (hide spoiler)]

This book is so darn long that I read 100 pages, and goodreads tells me that's only 12%. yikes!

Starting book 2 ☺

It is really long! It's so dull as well, so it feels like i'm bot getting very far!

the ending to book 1 is a bit of a cliff-hanger.

page 440 (view spoiler)[ I feel really sorry for Adam. it wasn't fair for him to end up dead because Pete doesn't like Zombies. I can see why Phoebe is p*ssed at Tommy, but its not like there's anything anybody can do about it now. (hide spoiler)]

page 447 (view spoiler)[ Adam's thinking is so chaotic. (hide spoiler)]

page 466 (view spoiler)[ he got comunity service for killing somebody?! that's a joke! (hide spoiler)]

page 475 (view spoiler)[ of course he didn't want it to turn out that way. he went out there to decrease the zombie population, and instead increased it! (hide spoiler)]

page 491 (view spoiler)[ if they don't eat or drink or sleep, how do they function? there's no such thing as free energy. there has to be cause and effect, and there has to be some kind of energy expenditure to cause movement, its like a law of motion or something. if there's no energy going into these kids, how can there be movement coming from them? why isn't the zombie thing explained? (hide spoiler)]

page 497 (view spoiler)[ so the kid who died of a broken neck - is his neck still broken? did it heal somehow? I want explanations. (hide spoiler)]

page 539 (view spoiler)[ what if she doesn't want to take over his blog? (hide spoiler)]

Just finished book one. Still bored though. :(

I've read worse. it's not as bad as some of the books we've read.

We've read some awful ones!
This one just feels really slow. The length doesn't help. :(

(view spoiler)[ I feel sorry for him too. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "page 466 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ And i thought some of the sentences that people get for killing someone here was a joke! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "page 475 [spoilers removed]

page 491 [spoilers removed]

page 497 [spoilers removed]

page 539 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I want explanations too. All these unanswered questions are annoying! (hide spoiler)]

page 617 (view spoiler)[ Duke is just as bad as Pete! (hide spoiler)]

I'm getting fed up of this now. I've read like 530 pages of this today and I'm still not finished :(

p658 (view spoiler)[ and he didn't come back to life. what was the darn point? how impressed are her parents going to be when they find out she's dating a dead person? (hide spoiler)]

Me too. I have about 150 pages left.
So not reading the third book straight away!

I'm at 150 pages to go too! got to get it finished now ☺

You girls are fast! I'm hoping to finish this omnibus (maybe only one if I don't like the first) by the end of the week~

I've got so many books to read! Had to get these finished today ☺ hopefully you'll enjoy them more ☺

I think I might skip this book. I can't get into it :(

Don't worry about it. If you really don't want to read it don't read it ☺
