They’re a threat throughout the book but scenes of bloody gore and stuff of nightmares are actually quite limited.įor me, the main theme of this book is reaching out into the world and wanting more than just what’s in front of you. Now, just in case there are any anti-zombie people reading this, don’t be afraid… the zombie parts are actually not so gruesome and they don’t make too many appearances, so don’t be put off. The fences are not to keep the villagers in, however, but to keep out the hoards of flesh eating zombies living in the forest beyond, a lot of whom are relatives of the villagers themselves. The Forest of Hands and Teeth is set in a dystopian future where Mary lives in a village surrounded by high fences. But the word on the street is that Vamps are moving on out and the new hot topic in YA-lit is… Zombies! So, in order to keep ahead of the game… here’s one I read earlier. So, you all know how I feel about a certain series of vampire books, I didn’t pull any punches and the comments are still rolling on in □ Following on from these books the floodgates opened and there’s barely a shelf in teen fiction that doesn’t have some sort of Vamp book sitting on it and I hang my head in despair at the sight of the children’s book chart. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
