Reading Response #1

Flesh and Bone
BY: Jonathan Maberry
I have just started reading the book Flesh and Bone and so far, I have not been able to put it down. The book starts where the last one leaves off where Benny, Lilah, Nix, and Chong are running in search of the jet they have all been searching for. While they all moan with thoughts of the death of Bennys brother and their teacher Tom Imura. Benny was sitting on a hill when he spots a mysterious women across him. He tries to get her attention but all of a sudden he was surrounded by thousands of zombies. Wile running away from the horde he runs into a small child crying and scared for her life he rescues this little child and realized that he is now cornered and surrounded by the flesh eating blood thirsty zombie horde. "As he ran, Benny could feel the little gilrl's flttering heart beating against his chest ... As Benny ran now. Through the darkness and horror, with death pursuing and no certain knowledge of a way out of the moment." I have selected this passage because it really shows you the fear and despiration he is geting from running for his life.
