Never Slow Dance with a Zombie Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first started reading Never Slow Dance with a Zombie I sighed in dismay..... another story about a girl who dreams of being popular. You know the slightly pudgy dark headed girl with a skinny blonde nemesis. The nobody who wants to be the somebody. I was even tempted to just close the book and set it on my pile of TBR, near the bottom where other books would pile atop it, and it would disappear between 'similar' and 'a million other books used that plot'. Then Margot went to school and found that it was overrun with zombies.
This was when the book took a hilarious and interesting turn. Instead of reporting this massive zombie outbreak to the authorities or even running away and telling their parents, Margot and Sybil talk to their principal. Ok, you're thinking, he's an authority figure right? Wrong he enlists them to help keep the school running smoothly despite the 'mmmmmphhhgrwwwwwl'-ing zombies at the school. Guess what? The thought of being the queen bee and able to be head cheerleader (oh and prom queen) hits just the right note and Margot ploughs ahead full force.
In order to survive high school you have to find your pack. (are you goth zombie or emo zombie?) Not be an individual, everyone wants to be popular right? (oh and zombies hate non-zombies, so try to fit in!) And have a gaggle of adoring wannabes behind you. (do hungry chomping zombies count?) Point is E. Van Lowe made a unique and quite funny connection between teenage/highschool angst and living with the undead. The heroines of this book aren't perfect, in fact one of them has a dark little voice inside her head telling her to be selfish and mean. These girls are real in a way Bella never could be. It's an easy humorus read, just get through the first 1/4 filled with empty thoughts of popularity and on to the zombie party!
