Was happy with it as a wholeBy Amber from OhioJust finished this book a second ago, and was happy with it as a whole.Ryan's writing style is unique. Some people will take issue with that; they will not be able to get accustomed to the lack of adjectives and the "inner voice" monologue going on throughout. But I think a certain beauty is in that which is different.It's true: there is a voracious amount of inner

2. dialogue in this book. The protagonist talks about how she's frightened very often, and about how she doesn't see a point in pushing on through the zombie apocalypse. But that's the only "con" I can see here. The rest of the novel makes you think, makes you fall in love with the new characters, ties up some loose ends from the last novel, adds to the overall worldbuilding and look feel of what surrounds their villages.I REALLY liked the character development. I also felt like I was there with the characters, living it with them. I know that sounds odd, but Ryan really does write in such a way that it feels like you're right there, living it with them. Putting yourself in their shoes, urging them to take the next step. And then they do, and it's magnificent.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. From the ocean to the forest, surrounded by hands and teethBy Michelle BoytimThis is the second book in The Forest of Hands and Teeth series. Gabry, a teenaged girl, lives in a lighthouse with her mother, Mary. On a dare from her friend Cira, she goes outside the fence with a group of teenagers, including Ciras brother, Catcher to an abandoned amusement park. What was a lark becomes a tragedy as they are beset upon by the Mudo, infected with the zombie virus. While Gabry escapes, Cira and many of the others are either killed or captured upon their return and sentenced to work as soldiers/guards in the city, which is a death sentence for most. Cira begs Gabry to find her brother, who she finds has been bitten. Along her perilous trip she meets the mysterious Elias who keeps her safe and provides some key insight into Catchers condition. Her mothers revelation and disappearance, along with some trying circumstances lead to an escape into the Forest and to secrets of Gabrys past. While uneven, at times, I appreciated the building of the world mythos and would have liked to have learned more. I am hoping that the third book will provide some resolution to the story.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A good zombie readBy GlttrGuitarAngelSPOILERS! At first, I was disappointed that this story didn't continue with Mary and the other characters from The Forest of Hands and Teeth, but then I really started to get into it. As always, I wish there were more of a romance aspect, but the zombies made up for it. It was interesting to read about the cult that kept "pet" zombies as well as the fact that some people are immune to the zombie virus which differs from traditional zombie novels. If you like zombies or paranormal stories, this is definitely a great read. Gabry lives a quiet life, secure in her town next to the sea and behind the Barrier. She's content to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast--home is all she's ever known and all she needs for happiness. But life after the Return is never safe.Gabry's mother thought she left her secrets behind in the Forest of Hands and Teeth, but like the dead in their world, secrets don't stay buried. And now, Gabry's world is crumbling. In one reckless moment, half of Gabry's generation is dead, the other half imprisoned. Now Gabry knows only one thing: if she has any hope of a future, she must face the forest of her mother's past. From School Library JournalGrade 9 UpTimid, thoughtful Gabry has grown up safely in the city of Vista. She lives in a lighthouse with her mother, Mary, the daring heroine of The Forest of Hands and Teeth (Delacorte, 2009), whose job it is to kill Mudozombiesas they wash ashore. Then one night, Cira, Gabry's best friend, and Catcher, Cira's brother, convince her to sneak outside Vista's walls. With the attack of one Breakera fast zombieeverything changes: a friend is killed, Catcher is infected, and Cira is imprisoned and destined for the Recruiters, the army that protects the loose federation of cities left after the Return. Feeling both guilty for having escaped punishment and self-destructive after the revelation that Mary in fact adopted her, Gabry pushes herself to cross the city's Barrier again. Some pieces of the narrative are well constructed: the constant, looming threat of the Mudo, Gabry's quiet determination and daring in the face of fear, and villainous soldier Daniel's palpably frightening power-grabbing sexual advances. Other details are less believable, like Mary's suddenly abandoning her daughter and her duties to seek her past in the Forest. Though flawed, this volume has enough action, romance, and depth of character to satisfy, and the cliff-hanger ending will leave fans hungry for the third book.Megan Honig, New York Public Library Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.From BooklistThe Forest of Hands of and Teeth (2009) spliced classic zombie mythos into a world that was one part postapocalypse and one part colonial America and drove the plot with a healthy surge of teen hormones. This companion piece, which features some returning characters in minor roles, involves another discontented young woman, Gabry. Life within her walled town is shattered when a group of her friends step past the border and are attacked by the Mudo (thats zombies to you and me). A series of calamities results in a third act much like the one in Forest: Gabry flees through an unknown wilderness with companions including potential new paramour Elias and former crush Catcher, who may be immune to the Mudos bite. Though her reliance on sentence fragments is a bit irksome, Ryan knows how to put together an action scene; the final pages are especially thrilling. Savvy readers may scoff at the constant lusting going on amid the carnage, but fans of Forest will be happy to find a familiar flesh-eating formula. Grades 9-12. --Daniel Kraus Ryan certainly knows how to write 'good' zombies as realistic and menacing as they can get * british Fantasy Society *
