Review: Clever premise that could have been better

This story is told exclusively through a little girl's diary entries. The plot line itself was interesting enough to keep me reading, but it didn't grab me. The voice was not believable. I'm trying to picture a 9 year old girl writing pages and pages of diary entries in the midst of trying to survive the zombie apocalypse and beyond that the language and style used simply wasn't at all believable as a 9yr old girl. I think that if this story had simply been written in the first person it could have done better. I understand its a series. One the one hand I do wonder what happens next (a tribute to the premise and skill of the writer). On the other hand life's too short and there's just too many books to read to bother.
