Lazarus starts the book as a typical teenager - gossiping with his mate on the phone, eating junk food, being lazy, making a mess. By the end, he's shaping up to be a great central character - independent of thought, courageous, loyal and impulsive. And his friend Craig provides a welcome foil. There's a great deal to enjoy in this book and the series seems set to provide lots more. Teen horror fans are going to love it.
My thanks to the good people at Hodder for sending the book. We also have a review of [[The Dark (The Dead 2) by David Gatward|book 2]].
If they haven't read it already - unlikely! - then they really shouldn't miss Darren Shan's wonderful [[Slawter (The Demonata) by Darren Shan|Demonata]] series. If it's specifically zombies they like, then they could look at [[The Enemy by Charlie Higson]], which uses them in a future catastrophe story rather than a horror novel. [[My Swordhand is Singing by Marcus Sedgwick]] is classy horror, fusing zombies and vampires.
