I wasn't sure if a myspace account was necessary to view it, etc.<br /><br /><br />Generation Dead book series<br />I wanted to promote a book series that truly deserves it. One that is from an author who isn't too well known yet, but who should be. And that author is Daniel Waters.<br /><br />Those of you who haven't read the Generation Dead series should. Not only is it entertaining and a quick read, but one that you can apply ideals from to your everyday interactions.<br /><br />On the surface, the Generation Dead series is about zombies and high school. Yes, it is written as a YA series, and yes, all of the characters are in high school and involved in high school drama. Is there more to it than that? Oh hell yes.<br /><br />In the world that Daniel Waters has so skillfully crafted for us, certain teenagers are returning from the dead. Only teenagers, and no one knows why. We are never granted a straightforward reason like radiation, genes, a nuclear explosion, or germ warfare. Which is part of what separates GenDead from other zombie fare.<br /><br />The second and strongest reason you should read GenDead is the social commentary and depth that pervades all of the current three books and shall continue in the others to come. The zombies that return have no legal stance, they're discriminated against in high school. They are "slower" physically and verbally. I cannot think of a better analogy to apply to how the handicapped are treated, or even any minority to some extent, than one like this. While gracing us with a fully current and applicable situation, never once do the books become overly preachy or unenjoyable. Waters weaves dynamic, layered characters with a fast plot and values into a web that sucks one in and keeps you stuck until the end.<br /><br />The focus of the books also shifts characters and perspectives throughout the series, but never in a way that is unsatisfying or too quickly. I appreciated this change, as it lends more depth to the series. Through this technique, subjects like love, depression and suicide, not fitting in, and politics are looked at in a fresh way that does not become boring. Even the antagonists are viewed differently, so that there is never a clear black and white. Throughout the chapters, I switched between hating and sympathizing with our primary "villain". Few series have ever done this to me, and rarely so effectively as in GenDead.<br /><br />So why write all of this now? New releases and more chances for you to enjoy the books at a good price and with different convenience. On March 22nd, the electronic copies of each book thus far will be released. And with the new version, an extra short story is included. Not just one, but one per volume!<br /><br />From Daniel Water's blog:<br />"Each title will contain a special, brandy new GenDead short storywritten just for these editions! Wow! <br /><br />All three books--Generation Dead, Kiss of Life, and Passing Strange--drop on March 22!<br /><br />Each edition will contain all of the zombie-riffic words that were in the print editions (unless we find any mistakes that need correcting)! Plus as noted above, brandy new short stories!<br /><br />These new editions will be completely impervious to your little brother leaving abig Cheeto thumbprint on them!"<br /><br />I highly, highly encourage you to take a peek into the world of the Differently Biotic and see your definition of zombie lit get redefined in a way that is fun, entertaining, quick, yet deep all at the same time. Appreciate them for what they are in one form, and reread them and find a whole new light each time.<br /><br /><br />-Thanks for providing us with such great books!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922399698135846571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-26628756045867851152011-03-17T19:43:37.450-04:002011-03-17T19:43:37.450-04:00I posted a blog on my myspace account.
