Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Phoebe is just your typical goth girl with a crush. He's strong and silent.and dead.
All over the country, a strange phenomenon is happening. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. They are coming back to life, but they are no longer the same-they stutter, and their reactions to everything are slower. Termed "living impaired" or "differently biotic," they are doing their best to fit into a society that doesn't want them.
Fitting in is hard enough when you don't have the look or attitude, but when almost everyone else is alive and you're not, it's close to impossible. The kids at Oakvale High don't want to take classes or eat in the cafeteria next to someone who isn't breathing. And there are no laws that exist to protect the differently biotic from the people who want them to disappear-for good.
With her pale skin and Goth wardrobe, Phoebe has never run with the popular crowd. But no one can believe it when she falls for Tommy Williams, the leader of the dead kids. Not her best friend, Margi, whose fear of the differently biotic is deeply rooted in guilt over the past. And especially not her neighbor, Adam, the star of the football team. Adam has just realized his feelings for Phoebe run much deeper than just friendship. He would do anything for her, but what if protecting Tommy is the one thing that would make her happy?
Generation Dead is a sharp, funny, and breathtakingly original novel from an exciting new talent.

- Pretty DecentGeneration Dead was a decent book. I enjoy all sorts of fiction, sci-fi and romance novels so when I saw this at target I picked it up. It is an interesting idea for a story and with some additional imagining I could enjoy it. I would have liked some additional description of characters and scenery as well as character development. Most of the characters were rather flat. I did like the idea of the story though and I will pick up the sequel when it comes out.

- Great cover, Great bookIn Daniel Waters first YA novel, Generation Dead, American Teens are dying and returning as the undead. Call them what you will; living-impaired, differently biotic (the new PC term) or zombies, they are definitely considered a minority at Oak Vale High. Most of the living-impaired attend this school because it is considered to be the most progressive of schools when it comes to educating the living-impaired and they have the largest population of living-impaired students in the US (which is like ...

- With a book this long, you kinda expect it to at least HAVE an endingGeneration Dead is about a group of Zombies- American teens who have died and come back to life. They long to fit in with their fully living peers, but it is harder than it seems. When best friends Pheobe, Adam, and Margi get to know the Zombies at their school, they take radical action to help get their new friends the rights they deserve.
I loved the plot of Generation Dead. But come on! The author rambled on and on for a good 300 pages with useless dialog and banter that had ... Read More

- Good beginning, but ending a let downGeneration Dead intrigued me from the moment I saw the cover, and most of the book was very good. I liked the new spin on the zombie story, since I have always found zombies to be rather pointless and boring. But the last thirty pages or so really let me down. It feels like the author ran out of ideas and could not find a way to bring the story to a conclusion. I would give the book more stars if the ending had not been such a disappointment. For a first novel it was very creative and I enjoyed reading ... Read More

- Zombies Searching for Acceptance and Tolerance Instead of BrainsIn its Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that separate schools for black and white students were unconstitutional. The schools for whites were often superior to their counterparts for black students and consequently the separate schools offered very different educational opportunities. This ruling was key to the civil rights movement and efforts to end segregation.
On September 3, 1957, nine black students were barred from entry into Little Rock Central High ... Read More
