Good easy read. body positive good to see in a YA fiction book ( ) Entertaining and I liked that it doesn’t shy away from killing off characters even if sometimes that’s a dagger to the reader’s heart, if everyone survives the situation just wouldn’t feel as dangerous as horror should feel. It did take a minute for me to get a handle on the main character names since there are six and sometimes they’re referred to by their surname or by horror movie archetypes but it helped that all six personalities were pretty well defined. Considering how much action is going on, the author managed to squeeze in enough personal details for each of them so that you understand who they are beyond those aforementioned horror archetypes and what they’re dealing with in their home lives. While Allie and Rachel were my favorites by the end you really do care about everyone’s survival. The one romance here understandably didn’t really have enough time to develop though I did like their chemistry. I enjoyed the bonds everyone in the group gradually formed and one friendship in particular provided the most emotional moment of the story, a level of emotion I hadn’t necessarily expected going into something described as satire and horror. Take a mixing bowl, add two teens who used to be best friends, stir in misunderstanding and a dash of resentment, then drop in more characters, a farm boy hoping to earn tuition money, a teen who feels like it's impossible to meet his father's expectations, then add another with great computer skills whose own dad thinks he's a waste of space. Send them to a new sketchy weight loss camp in a remote area outside Flagstaff, AZ and have it snow like crazy while the power cuts out...And there's no cell phone service. Sprinkle with zombies and let simmer. This is what you get when you open this book. It's a mix of black humor, nail-screeching survival and a couple conspiracies. Lots of action and an ending that is sorta "It sucked, we're still alive." I've been stranded in a snowstorm in a remote spot outside Flagstaff back in the 1960s, an experience which made this story a bit more close to home. It's a great read for teens and adults who like their comedy dark and bloody with a side of 'how did we dodge so many bullets?' inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
