I read The Reaping in less then 24 hours because I just couldn't put it down! Not your typical story line for a YA book, which isn't a bad thing! I highly encourage fellow 30 somethings to give it a read as well. It's got plenty of action, some teen angst (which we can all relate to at one time or another), the lack of feeling like you fit in (which doesn't always go away with age), the acceptance of being different (which we all hope to learn), romance (which is mostly PG-13, for now at least), oh and zombies! What's not to love? I don't want to give away the plot, but this is truly a story line that you can't wait to see what happens in the next book! Carson is a realistic reluctant hero, she didn't choose her situation or her abilities, but she does choose how to use them! I would also like to note that the book is pretty well edited, which will sit well with those who like to nit pick (not me!)...
