The Girl with All the Gifts

This book brought a fresh outlook on the zombie apocalypse scene. I can appreciate the new zombies, despite their odd and highly impossible creation, but I felt that it was still lacking. Melanie's point of view was fascinating and I wish majority of the book was written from her perspective. I did not see a point to Gallagher's character, if anything he seemed like filler, though admittedly without him we would not have seen the intelligence of the hungry kids from a first hand perspective, but this may have been incorporated into a different character witnessing it. I also found the fungus interesting, but it was a bit too scientific for me, my brain couldn't really pick apart the language when Caldwell's point of view came around. I suppose this could have been the entire reason for the diction, to hone in on her being a scientist, in fact the last scientist alive. Overall I was on the fence about liking this book, thus the three stars.
