As you can probably tell my book is zomboy by Kenneth Opple a good book buts as most people in the class said the ending is really bad, like really bad...... It is so bad i can't even the ending but enough of hating on the ending lets continue the blog. But seriously....
Ok lets actually begin. I guess I will give a brief summary if you wish you make the summary into a song thats fine I will try to make it rhyme but I may have been too lazy to do it. Aright so there was a zomboy(but they don't know that yet) named Imre and but he is not the main character the main character is actually some guy named Bob and a female protagonist whose name is Evil-o but her real name is Olive she just likes her name backwards.(tee hee) So Evil-o likes Imre but Bob hates him, then some things happen and Imre gets hit by a piano so they find out that he is a zomboy. There are lots of protests but Evil-o is one of the only ones that like Imre, there is also in Imre's military bus thing.(I would tell you what is in the bus but I don't want to spoil the book just yet) Next, Imre saves Bob from a bully and this dog and after that Bob starts to like him because of that because of that people came to do a documentary on them but it never got out because of military things. They went to Imre's house and there are real zombies and they try to kill Bob and Evil-o. At the end it turns from nice and good plot into a gory blood bath, it was crap. Sometimes the plot is boring but it good most of the time with some. So basically the theme was acceptance and racism but then no they just had to add action and some minor characters die and at the end it hinted of romance between Bob and Evil-o but then it just ends just like that.
I give the plot 2/5 it sucked and the theme 3/5 so meh.
The characters are very good and develop well but Bob isn't well explained, also they have barely any physical descriptions for the characters. Bob is unintelligent and a germaphobe but he's like sherlock he can figure out random things from things that are completely unrelated to the things he's trying to figure out. I think the author did this so the book wouldn't last forever. The characters didn't really change much during the book and the minor characters are sort of useless until the crap ending. Even when the minor characters where zombies they were still useless. Really Kenneth Opple could at least have made some more useful characters and it was mostly to fill in space.
I give it 2-3/5 it sorta sucks?
I really liked the voice of the story it was the best thing in the book. The voice inn the book was Bob's and I think he makes the story really funny and it sounded likes the story is real. Sometimes it's a little weird and awkward but still it's pretty good. I think this was really good but it still doesn't make up for the ending. I give it a 4-5/5 really good.
The setting of the story was in Dresden, Ontario. They were mainly at their school but they were also at Bob's house alot. They also went to places in town and Imre's house. Imre's house was described the most because the ending was at Imre's house,(which sucked) the other places were barely described so we didn't really know whats going on but it didn't really matter all that much. I like that the places are pretty real but I don't like that the places weren't described that well. I give it a 3/5 it meh
I give it a 2.9/5 so bad but the ending still sucked. I really like some parts of the book but others were just bad.....just bad....(wink wink nudge nudge the ending) I did't like the plot but the voice and the theme was good. The setting was bad and most of the characters are useless. The book could be so good but the author just didn't add the extra things that the book needed. It had it's good parts and it's bad parts, I won't recommend this book just because the ending.
