My Life As a White Trash Zombie by Diana RowlandMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this book!
I read the entire thing on the plane flying interstate and am really glad I took it as there was no point in which I wanted to put it down.
The domestic subject matter was handled really well and the epiphany Angel has about what 'looser' really means was brilliant.
Now the zombie bits, I found this an interesting take on the zombie myths and thought it was really thought out and explained well. The brain cravings were detailed and you really could understand how a zombie could go 'rogue'.
Angel came leaps and bounds in the book and really picked herself up, even if she had to die to find the motivation. Her confidence and self belief grow much slower and I can understand why.
Friendships are built up and this could easily be about a 'white trash' girl getting herself out of the gutter without the zombie bits and it would still be a good read. The zombie parts definatley add to it.
Though tagged as a young adult book, I found it really easy to forget that it was and just enjoy the story.
