The whole thing is saved from lumbering by some witty writing and a spot-on knowledge of pop culture. It's a credit to Waters that I actually came away from this book almost believing its premise to be possible, even if it did rather creep me out. A great many teenagers are going to love it.
My thanks to the nice people at Simon & Schuster for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Kiss of Life by Daniel Waters|Kiss of Life]]and [[Passing Strange (Generation Dead) by Daniel Waters|Passing Strange (Generation Dead)]] both by Daniel Waters.
[[My Swordhand is Singing by Marcus Sedgwick]] is a more traditional zombie tale, while those interested in the social issues in ''Generation Dead'' might like [[The Wave by Morton Rhue]].
