I’m finally finishing the Newsflesh trilogy

NEWS FLASH: I started this trilogy from the beginning!  See, I reall can do it!

So this book took me a few months to read. It actually took me a few months to remember that I bought it and had at one time been excited to read it. I basically loved book one, and almost hated book two. I liked parts of this book and other parts were a little slow. It was also (unnecessarily) over six hundred pages long. I’m gonna go ahead and spoil the beginning of this book… actually if you read book two, it’s not even a spoiler. Ready????

I think I liked this book better than book two because both Georgia and Shaun were in it. The beginning was a little slow (ok maybe the first half), because the wonder twins were still separated. Once they reunited, things got a lot better. I really don’t like Shaun on his own. He needs an alive Georgia to smoothe out his more annoying edges.

Also, more spoiling- the one way Shaun believes the clone is really Georgia is a bit icky. It makes sense that the wonder twins aren’t really twins, but having them grow up an be presented to us as biological sister and brother only to have them not actually be related and want to bone each other is a little disturbing. I’m sure that reveal turned off a lot of people.

I can’t even really recap the story, because it’s complicated, but the CDC is bad, clones are real, and zombies can maybe be cured one day!
