Liked this one better than the first one. Looking forward to reading more. ( )

This book was very interesting I really liked B in this story! ( )

After the ending of the first book, I was curious to what Shan had in store of this series. A different take on the zombie genre and continues slightly on with the racism theme which I liked. I like how B has changed the way she thinks about race since the last book and how it has effected her personality. The ending, like with the first book, has left me curious as to what Shan has planned next. From the cover, I'm guessing Mr Dowling will be more important. I'm not scared of clowns but he's freaked me out! ( )

The book is about the same character as before (B).Except this time they are in an underground facility full of other zombies and some humans. The zombies can talk because the humans filed their teeth to where they could talk. They went out trying to find other zombies that they would need at the place. Then in the book they sent out B and another zombie that could talk to run through a subway without getting caught by a zombie. Near the end the zombies where trying to escape the facility and realized that some one that was in their group was not a zombie. Then they killed the human that was there, but B didn't hurt him. Someone then helped B escape but the other zombies that B was with died.
This book wasn't my favorite book in the series because the only good part was the ending. It wasn't that exiting as the first book in the series. It was mainly talking in this book. I liked the underground facility that the talking zombies were at. But if they changed some parts of the book it would have been more exiting. I wish they did test on the zombies to see if they were good enough to be there. This one just wasn't my favorite. ( )

This review was first written for The Nerd Cave and is a continuation of a dual review of Zom-B book 1 in the Zom-B series and this book, book 2.

...Then there is Zom-B Underground, book two in the series; Underground is a continuation of book one and picks up with B a few months after the attack, only thing is – B doesn’t remember anything. NOTE: Haven’t read book 1? Stop reading this review… I don’t want to spoil it for you.

If you have read the first book, you may have noticed a lot of big events happen at the end of Zom-B. (I am still hesitant about pointing them out, because I really don’t want to spoil the fun). We pick up with B in an underground facility where zombies are being held for experimentation and observation. In this plot line, we learn about the zombies and their various abilities, some are the norm – slow walking, brain eating monsters – then there are others who still have brain function –they communicate, know their morals when they aren’t hungry and are almost human, except for the fact that they are dead.

B has a lot of character development in this installment and there is less of the ‘I’m a racist because my dad wants me to be’ mentality and more finding of oneself. Like in book 1 the plot takes a while to pick up, the action doesn’t start until about half way through, but once you get there it is difficult to put the book down. I think that is where I am going to leave my review of book two…I can’t share more without messing up the plot of book one. Aside from the complex issues in the series, it is enjoyable. The books are short, only 200 pages and they have awesome inked images throughout, so if you need a light read and enjoy zombies, this could be a series for you. ( )
