Even though I knew, from looking at the cover, that this was more of a young adult fiction...I couldn't resist the lure of zombies.  Much to my chagrin, I now know that not all zombies are created equal.This didn't really feel like a finished product, even for a novella or short story.  I felt like I was reading the author's notes of how the story was supposed to flow without actually getting to the meat of the story. Conversations were stilted and uncomfortable.  The action didn't grab you into it.  And unfortunately, Orlando is really not that likable, although this may be because he is not developed fully due to the length of this story.Since younger readers may find this book more engaging than I did (they obviously fell for the hype of the Twilight series!), I'll go with the benefit of the doubt that it's just the wrong age level for me.
