This is a very good book but violent. The violence is not very detailed but still gruesome. Some talk about bones sticking out and axes slicing people. There is one scene with two people in bed but not doing anything sexual. Good, exciting book to read, But you should watch out. The unconsecrated might get you.

I thought this was an interesting book, but I really dislike it when books deliberatey leave out things becuase they want youn to read the other books in the series. In this sense it was very disappointing because I enjoy series, but I like each book to good on it's own as well. I felt like I was being prodded into reading the next book, just because I didn't understand everything in the first book. However, I did think this was an interesting twist on zombie apocalypses. It wasn't too science fiction-y, and I expected it to be just like every other zombie apocalypes book, movie, or tv show ever made, but it wasn't, and I really enjoyed and appreciated that.

Beautiful, if you can call a Zombie thriller that. When I finished reading this, I was amazed to find out that Carrie Ryan has never ever written before. I love to read, and really only give books 5 stars if there amazing (like maybe To Kill a Mockingbird.) The Forest of Hands and Teeth would get a 5 star if it was a Zombie related book (at lest their not Vampires) If you're a mom of a 13 year old daughter, who does not want her daughter to read about Edward, well here you go. A zomped up romance that won't be so obsessive. Violence is a lot stronger than the Twilight Saga.

*The violence is not described in detail *Bland writing *Good plot meh. . .

very violent, but an over all good read. suspenseful until the very end!

I love this book. I love the way the zombies are portrayed. It's very unique and original and not wretched as what you'd see in the movies. Instead it plays up the loss of life, not the mindless animated corpse. When Mary finds the Unconsecrated baby, I literally had to sit the book down and take deep breaths because it was really disturbing. But I liked how it showed the harsh reality of an apocalypse. *SPOILER ALERT* When Mary had to kill Travis I BAWLED. It was really intense and it made you feel so sympathetic for her. Plus she doesn't end up with Harry, either, so she had a pretty crummy life, especially considering the fact that in the second book she FOUND Gabry, never fell in love again. *END SPOILER ALERT* I that it was overly depressing, but it showed the harsh reality of the world.

I really liked it! It was really interesting to read about what our world now looks to Mary. There is some violence in it though so if you don't like horror don't read it. I think it would be ok for an 11 year old but much younger would maybe take it too literally and nightmares who start to come into play. Mary is a positive role model because she never gives up and she is strong, just like any girl would like to think of females. I couldn't put down! It kind of freaked me out in a way to think about having to live in a world like that, I don't think I could have kept going like Mary. And of course a little romance is thrown in among the zombies. It ends so that you have to read the next one. Loved it!
