Book #15 'Queen Victoria, Demon Hunter' by A.E. Moorat: Okay so I want to start by pointing out the amazingness of the tagline for this book: 'She loved her country. She hated zombies.' I mean lets be honest for a moment, this book no longer even needs any kind of explanation once you know the tagline. Am I right?
Hmmm, no? Okay fine let's talk about it then shall we?
So when I first picked up this book, not only did I find it in the clearance area, I thought it was going to be kinda like 'Pride, Prejudice and Zombies'. Which if you don't know is where someone took the classic book 'Pride and Prejudice' and added zombies and tossed it to the world to see what all the zombie-loving nerds would think of it. Personally I have yet to read it myself but from what I have heard it is verging on maximum coolness. (maximum coolness? where did I get that from?? :S)
However once I started reading this book I have found that this is not the case with 'Queen Victoria, Demon Hunter' at all I think someone honestly just thought it would be cool to take someone from history and write a book about them being a 'demon hunter'.
As far as the book goes I mean it was okay for what it was, if that makes sense? The main reason for me reading it was so I could have something easier to read after making my way through the classic before this. So yea, I guess if your looking for something mindless to read and you have always wanted to read a zombie book then yea, you will probably enjoy.
My only thing I'm really going to mention on it was that it was pretty graphic at parts, but come on it is about zombies so that kinda comes with the territory I guess.
Next book up for #16 is 'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro. I have been told that this one will make me cry but I guess we will see how it goes!
That's all for now,
