" The Dead " By Charlie Higson.

This awesome book is a prequel to the deadly, " The Enemy". This story is truly an even of bravery and survival. It's Darwinian laws put to the test. Only now it involves inputting Humans into the equation. Filled with malicious zombies, heartbreaking sequences, and bloody massacres, this book is a riot. It is truly amazing on how the human spirit can survive. " The Dead" tells the story of groups of schoolboys on their trip to survive. Along the way they meet strange adults, strange leaders and death. Anyone over 16 is viewed as the " sickos". The sickness takes hold of one of them causing an insight to what they are really fighting for. If your over 16 you probably will turn into a flesh eating, bone crunching zombie. Fear escalates as the group finds themselves in the worst possible situation, A zombie horde the size of an army. The ending is quite surprising. Don't want to ruin it, but I will say this. The end of one book reflects another.

Exotix rating 5/5

" King of the Screwups By K.L. Going

Did you ever have a day when you felt as if you screwed up in just about everything? Well Liam life is nothing but screwing up. He adds just the right amount to make everything topple down. Failure is what he probably made for. I really like the humor that is portrayed in the story. His mishaps become more then just mistakes. It's yet another lesson for his life. His Dad kicks him out of the house when he is caught with a girl. He has one talent though. Being "popular isn't really a talent" the people around him say, but with this dude, you can't go wrong.

You can almost connect with Liam as he messes up throughout. Reminds us all of the day when we couldn't get anything right. 

Exotix rating 10/10
Really liked it.

OMG WE ARE GOING TO SLOWLEY DEGRADE MENTALLYYYYY

Recently I have received an email for the Brooklyn Public Library saying that since the government isn't providing enough funding, it may close. First thing I want to say is wow. It would be terrible to live without a library. The community needs it to educate itself. Take that away, and guess what you will have a dumb society. I have personally learned so many things from books than in real life sometimes. Books are the windows, portals, realms, dimensions, planes to everything AMAZING. The chances that you learned to read this post is probably from a LIBRARY book. Where do  you go to get help with topics that sometimes need some paper rather then Google, the LIBRARY.

So imagine it being closed. I wouldn't be able to write my reviews anymore. Well you would say hey there's Barnes and Noble for you! No, the truth is we can't afford every book that we want to or need to read. So your saying your going to buy a book every time you need maximum 5 facts from it? Utterly absurd in my view, should be in your too. So I have come with a plan that may help with the saving of our academic and entertaining sanctuary, give me your signature. Send me an email with your name and I will post your First name or anyway you want to be called and we will make a HUGE list of people to show the government why they should care more about us then fighting a pointless war.

So please post this into your facebook or chatroom and spread the word!
p.s. dont forget to read the book reviews coming soon!

" The Enemy " By Charlie Higson

After a horrible disease swarms over London, Children are faced with the living dead. The sickness that affected the people only affects adults. Children are left wandering through cities in search of help. Many of them meet the flesh eating zombies first. The story follows a young boy and a band of survivors living in an abandoned supermarket. Many casualties lie in the adults keen mind. No one is safe in this horrible nightmare. Arran and his band decide to go to the last sanctuary left, Buckingham palace. The palace is home to many refugee children, they all are under rule by a boy named David King ( ironic I know ), and he offers them a place to stay. Soon the band discovers that David has an obsession with leadership and the trust wavers dangerously.

Filled with grisly descriptions and deadly confrontations, this book is definitely one with fear. You don't be dissapointed with all the thrills the book has in store for you.

 Exotix rating 4/5 just because I don't really enjoy horror stories
