A novel of extraordinary power and imagination, FOREST took you to the centre of a terrible future and showed you that even there the hardest decisions are the decisions of the heart.

Review:
The Dark and Hollow Places is the third book in the zombie series by Carrie Ryan. For some unknown reason, I just haven’t got around to picking up a copy of The Forest of Hands and Teeth and The Dead Tossed Waves yet. I’ve heard that the series is great, so I was looking forward to reading the third book and hoped that I would still understand the plot.
Who knew there were so many ways to write about getting attacked by zombies. Ryan’s book was utterly thrilling. This is a dark, dark book, but I applaud it for showing exactly how entertaining AND well-written a YA book can be. Ryan raises so many questions in her book that aren’t touched in many other zombie novels, such as; What would you do if you knew you only had a few days to live? What are you living for if the world was full of flesh hungry zombies? Do you get sick of fighting and running, always surviving just to survive, doing whatever it takes to survive?
Great book, going to have to pick up the first two books how.
