Review // Zombicorns


Zombicorns
by John Green

There are a ton of DK Publishing's "My First" books out there. My First ABC Book, My First Colors Book, My First Farm Book, My First Tractor Book. I just read my first Zombie Apocalypse Novella. Although Zombiecorns and DK publishing have nothing to do with each other, I think DK should publish a "My First Zombie Apocalypse Book." It'd be fun for all ages.

And although I have little to no experience in zombie apocalypses and novellas (just a few here and there), I think that this was really good for a book that was whipped together. I'm not sure I'd want to read this for another two hundred pages, but short and sweet is the way I like 'em. That's what she said. Plus I got stuck reading The Epic of Gilgamesh over the weekend, and I needed a break from it—an every-two-pages break.

Oh, what is it? That might be important to know. Zombicorns not about Zombie Unicorns—but if a horse was infected, then it developed a very sharp cone-shaped tumor on its forehead I guess it technically could be about zombie unicorns. It's about Mia, though, who is one of the last people in Chicago after the rest of the world gets Z'd up from contracting a virus that is in corn, which is in everything. And you can download it for free, if you haven't already: http://effyeahnerdfighters.com/post/2835409604/didnt-get-your-chance-to-get-your-hands-on-john

Lesson of the Day: It is considerably harder to finish a book when the internet is floating in the background of your computer screen just calling out your name. If I ever got an ipad, I don't think I'd ever finish reading a single book on it.
