Donna of the dead By Alison Kemper - Starting February 13th, 2014

[Abbie]

Donna Pierce might hear voices, but that doesn’t mean she’s crazy. Probably.

The voices do serve their purpose, though—whenever Donna hears them, she knows she’s in danger. So when they start yelling at the top of their proverbial lungs, it’s no surprise she and her best friend, Deke, end up narrowly escaping a zombie horde. Alone without their families, they take refuge at their high school with the super-helpful nerds, the bossy class president, and—best of all?—Liam, hottie extraordinaire and Donna’s long-time crush. When Liam is around, it’s easy to forget about the moaning zombies, her dad’s plight to reach them, and how weird Deke is suddenly acting toward her.

But as the teens’ numbers dwindle and their escape plans fall apart, Donna has to listen to the secrets those voices in her head have been hiding. It seems not all the zombies are shuffling idiots, and the half-undead aren’t really down with kids like Donna…

Chapter 3 - (view spoiler)[ Why is she feeling guilty for not saving her? The voices told her to not ride with her, they didn't tell her it was because she was going to crash because she was drunk! (hide spoiler)]

[Abbie]

Chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[ Rawwwrrrr? They're zombies, not lions! (hide spoiler)]

[Abbie]

Chapter 8 - (view spoiler)[She's thinking more about her love life than the zombies. She better get her priorities in check soon. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ how dumb is she? as if you fight zombies with silver? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 5 - I don't really like this book very much. Donna is irritating, I feel like I've been reading for ages and gotten nowhere (again!), and the whole thing just seems a bit blah. I'm not impressed.

[Abbie]

Neither am i. Donna is getting on my nerves too. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ enter love interest *sigh* I just don't care. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ there's no water? oh, don't worry, we'll just drink soda!
idiots! are they going to flush the toilets with soda? are they going to wash their hands and faces with soda? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ i don't like gretchen either. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ donna is a bit of a bitch. she wants to leave gretchen behind just because she annoys here? seriously? she isn't listening to a word deke is saying! (hide spoiler)]

[Abbie]

Chapter 11 - (view spoiler)[ They are such idiots! If she did have music on her phone, was they seriously going to kill the battery, just so they can listen to music? (hide spoiler)]

[Abbie]

Chapter 21 - (view spoiler)[ Haha! she got bitten by Liam! Let me guess - she'll be immune to virus. (hide spoiler)]

[Abbie]

Chapter 24 - (view spoiler)[ I knew it. How predictable. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I really don't want to read this. I want to know what happens, but I don't want to have to keep wading through this drivel to find out :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

idiots.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ how freaking cluless is she? is it not obvious that deke likes her as more than a friend? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ great way to waste your battery life - listen to old messages. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ somethings wrong with her manicure!
which is obviously the biggest problem donna. is she supposed to have a fresh coat on nail varnish on? even if she wasn't a zombie, when was she supposed to go to the salon to have her nails done?! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ would you really hit someone in the jaw - where the virus spreading germs are? if you break your skin on their teeth you're a gonner! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ "She probably thought I stabbed her because I hated her."
because that's what you should be focusing on donna. how about the fact that she was a freaking zombie, and oh yeah - you did freaking hate her! you wanted to run off on your daddys boat and leave her behind to tackle the zombies on her own! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ "When I get frightened, I try to be funny. I make bad jokes."
"You must be scared a lot." Veronica says.
go veronica! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]
