Generation Dead by Daniel Waters

An interesting take on zombies, that's for sure.

If you can imagine a world where dead teenagers are coming back, then these books are more than destined to find their way to your hands.

Pheobe is a good natured goth girl, who just happens to have a sympathy for the "differently biotic", also known as the "living impaired". Unfortunately at the point in society where these books take place, the living dead have NO rights whatsoever, they can be killed, er well burned, as a means of getting rid of them. They have no rights of citizenship, they can't get driver's licences, they can't vote, they techincally do not exist in the eyes of the United States government. It's a sad place to be for those who are just slightly different.

It has a great dry humor quality about it, I couldn't put it down for the first few hours, and only then I forced myself to take a break. I may be slightly biased though, I do enjoy a good zombie moment every now and again.

All and all I would recommend that most people should read this, particularly those with a taste for paranormal books. This book is NOT for young people, there is a pretty decent amount of vulgarity, and several mentions to sexuality.
