This was a great read. The story had a great amount of action. Although, I do have to say that 75% of the book was dragged out. B is still my favourite character because of her badass ways. I really wish that someone would make DanDan suffer. I do not like him. I did like Rage for a bit, but then he did something stupid and made me dislike him. The ending was really great. I really need to read book 9 after that ending. I can't wait to see where it takes me. Overall, an intriguing read.
Great edition to the story. I wasn't sure how I was going to like the "clans" being brought into it but in many ways it makes perfect sense . And the ending...one word to change everything. And now I have to wait until October to know what happens next :(

This one was stuffed with action and emotion. And of course.....dun dun dun...the cliffhanger!
B Has a habit of thinking she knows best and acting on it.
She is not always right....
In this volume of the Zom-B series we finally get a lot of background on Owl Man and Mr. Dowling and why the Angels are working to bring them down as well as their relationship to certain events and other characters. The series is building up to what will probably be an explosive conclusion soon...

This latest book in the Zom-B series manages to be both self-contained and a part of the overall story at the same time. It continues where the last book left off and sees B capture child-killer Dan-Dan as her prisoner, but forced to keep him alive to negotiate the return of her friend Vinyl.
This is not the most action-packed volume of the series so far but I didn't feel that was unnecessary at all. There's a strong, violent start to tie off the cliffhanger but then the book is full of tension. ...more

I didn't expect it after reading book 1 (I couldn't stand B and almost didn't try book 2), but this series gets better with every book. I can't wait to see what happens next and I zipped right through the series to date and now have to wait for the next one! The surprise ending didn't surprise me though. I have been convinced since finishing book 1, that we'd be seeing that person again. I've just been biding my time, wondering how long Shan would make us wait.
"We do what we think is right. After that, we can only pray that we choose the correct path, and hope our maker will forgive us if we err."
WOW. Finally. finally some huge huge answers are delivered. We finally get some clarity on moments that seemed so confusing.
We also get some kick butt zombie moments, some interesting fighting....
and one more huge secret revealed. I must admit I didn't see it coming. I can't wait for the next one!

This book was just...WOW! So many shocking twists and turns, however the one at the very end was kind of obvious on who this character was. I'm still trying to figure out "Owl Man" and his reasons why he is currently treating B. Well, on to the next book to, hopefully, get more answers.
A lot of big revelations and shockers! That ending!! I want the next book already!! Review to come...
This was a good one! That ending! arghhhh! Well played Shan.....
Hot daaaaaaaaamn! This was GOOOOOOOD!
My only complaint is that I wish the books weren't so short. I like the premise of it

THAT ENDING ARGH!!!!!
The author of the book is Darren Shan and the title of the book is ZOM-B. The book is also fiction. The genres of the book are adventure,tale,and fantasy. I chose to read the book because it was recommended to me by my brother who already read it.
The book is mostly about violence and deaths and killing and blood and so on. The book is a horror book which is about a kind of zombies which eat the organs of the people they kill without even thinking about it. The story's setting is mainly in a cit ...more

The "Clans" was a great read for me. The story was stuffed with action and emotions. It took a while to apprehend about the goal of the book. For me B was a person that always make her self think that her way is always the best, but in fact it's not always the right way. B lives with her racist father, Todd Smith, and her mother, Daisy Smith. I hate it when Todd beats B and her mother, it makes me feel like Todd is someone else and not part of the family by the way he acts. Like when B rescued a

so the book went more in depth to the whole racist part of it. and to tell the truth i liked that. with the first book of this series, i thought it was amazing and then in book 2 it dropped all of that and it became a different kind of story. now in the series they have came back to that aspect of the story and shown that in an apocalyptic world human beings can still be assholes. i also love that becky has finally come over her fear of being like her dad and is protecting the right people being

Ideally I think this series should be binge read rather than super spread out like I've had to do, since I don't own all of the books and neither does my local library...
Also, unlike the Darren Shan saga, there isn't omnibus editions and the collections of 2 books in 1 aren't available for the later books in the series yet.
Clans, like the other books was highly readable and enjoyable. I found the plot twists pretty predictable, but I still REALLY wanted to knows what happens next. I also adore B ...more

This book was a fast-paced read, really liked it although now I start noticing how childish some scenes are. For example: in a battle they take like 5 minutes time to have a conversation while they should be killing people. Other than that: amazing book! Some more background story is being revealed, epic battle descriptions and a great cliff hanger! Will have to buy the next book soon because I am still hungry for more
what i like most on this series is the cliffhanger which obviously invites u to take to the next book and boy is it working !!!!
ON the minus side i found the book dragged on bit more then previous instalments but still enjoyed it certain parts of the book made you thought of previous instalments of our horrid history kluklux clan and the nazis saying that will hopefully c the series through to the end !!!!!

This was my favourite book in the series so far, I'm glad this one came along after several average installments. There was plenty of action, lots of emotion and none of the characters were annoying. It only loses a star for the major plot twists being pretty obvious early on (view spoiler). We also got a lot of welcome backstory on Mr. Dowling, Owl Man and Dr. Oystein, it was nice finally getting information about their past and motives.
This book questions a persons loyalty to family and friends. Do you stay loyal to someone even if you don't agree with the choices they are making? B is faced to choose sides quickly as everything in her life starts to change. She has to figure out who to let back into her life, and who needs to be taken out. It's a moral dilemma that is difficult to solve, even if you are a zombie.

There is no denying that Darren Shan is a masterful writer. I finished this book in just a couple of hours and not because of the short length. His stories are forever engaging and the Zom-B series are no different. The characters are deliciously flawed and relatable, the plots are fast paced and infected with plot twists galore. I have been a fan of Mr. Shan for decades and always will be.
This continued straight on from the previous installment and brought back some old enemies. This book was slightly info-dumpy at times but I feel like that was the only way to include all the info we gained throughout the book. I read this so fast. I've said this before and I will say it again - you have to binge this series in order to gain its full impact.
Wow another Darren Shan classic the ending is so worth it alone.
This is a 12 book series and seen as I already own the 9th book I have decided that I will go ahead and finish the whole lot.
