Again, the cover of Through the Zombie Glass is just awesome. These covers all seem to just have an amazing, magical, mysterious, creepy and eerily beautiful design. On the front the words 'Curiouser and Curiouser' are displayed on the bottom. - I like this added Alice in Wonderland touch.
This book begins on Halloween - which is a pretty cool setting for a Zombie book - in which she dresses as Alice in Wonderland for her costume (I thought this was actually kind of cool).
So far, however, the book seems to be simply a depiction of sexually frustrated and hormonal teenagers. There continues to be a lot of making out and sexual promiscuity. Ali continues to have inappropriate visions (with someone else this time!). I do hope this whole book isn't only a plethora of sexual content with 17 year olds - not only does it get annoying and uncomfortable, but it's honestly just inappropriate at times. I mean, Ali has been portrayed as a Christian at times - with her disdain for bad language and immorality with way girls dress - and yet she is completely fine with allowing a boy to touch her, tease her and get pretty close to having sex with her. (Perhaps I don't like this because of my own faith - however, I think my main annoyance is the hypocrisy and repetitive nature of these happenings).
'ZOMBIES STALK THE NIGHT.
FORGET THE BLOOD AND BRAINS. THESE
MONSTERS HUNGER FOR HUMAN SOULS.
SADLY, THEY'VE GOT MINE....
Alice Bell has lost so much. Family. Friends. A home. She thoughts she had nothing else to give. She was wrong.
After a new zombie attack, strange things begin happening to her. Mirrors come to life, and the whispers of the dead assault her ears. But the worst? A terrible darkness blooms inside her, urging her to do very wicked things...'
Having said all the above. I am still excited to read this book and see what happens! I sincerely hope I enjoy this one (as I did the first).
