's review

it was amazing

The first thing I wanted to address was the comparison between this book and Twilight. I don't see it. I think we need to stop comparing all PNR books against Twilight. It's lazy reviewing if I'm being honest.

I thought this book was very unique. Amy Plum took the idea of zombies and created her own twist on the mythology. I adored the revenants concept, and to me, this book was a much needed breath of fresh air. YA Paranormal had gotten a little stale for me lately.

Dum I'm done with comparisons to Twilight and Hunger Games. It actually turns me off from wanting to read said book, especially if it's a blurb right on the front of the book..

Oh, it drives me crazy. Someone actually said to me, "I won't read Die for Me because it's too much like Twilight." I'm like, "IT'S NOTHING LIKE TWILIGHT!" All YA Paranormals are not like Twilight. Ugh...I could go on and on. ;-p

Oh, it dr..."
That's silly of them! There's only a few books I won't read because the reviews say it's so similar to Twilight, but if I came across it at the library? I'd still probably pick it up because I wanted to read those books before I knew that.

I could go on forever too about every dystopian ever written after HG being compared to it. "Oh, you're set in a screwed up world? You're pretty similar to HG. Let's compare the two!" Uh. Let's not!! Books should be able to hold their own :( I could understand "If you like Twilight you might like this" but not "This book is the next Twilight!"
