Set aside two hours for this PG short contemporary procedural read that introduces the Zombies Are Human series, alternating internet posts with what happened to a set of teenage runaways. The review copy has been in my queue for a while and this is my voluntary review. ( ) Just when I thought the zombie genre was dead, along comes [a:Jamie Thornton|5661809|Jamie Thornton|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1388715153p2/5661809.jpg] with an approach that is fresh and interesting. The main character, Mary, is a runaway who is trying not just to survive, but to actually thrive on the streets with her close-knit group of supportive friends. As the story progresses, things, as always, take a turn for the worse. The tale is fascinating and ultimately poignant; Thornton's narrative style is taut and fast-paced, and in this story the tension never lets up. Read this novella. I promise you, you will enjoy it. *Received a copy from a Goodreads giveaway. The most interesting part of the book for me was the blog Mary posts on, though it's hard to imagine the world she's living in because it sounds a lot like our world now, but also like there's supposed to be some super dystopian quality to it. The virus was the standard government gone wrong set-up. My biggest issue with this book is that even after reading all of it I felt more like I'd read just the first chapter. As in: there's not a lot of plot, not a lot of the characters. I didn't really get to inhabit their world before the book ended. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I won Germination at a giveaway in exchange for a review. I liked it. I'm not much of a fan of neither first person nor diary/blog posts/etc kind of stories, but the bits of 'posts' were only the start of chapters, so it wasn't such a bother. The writing style was good; I wasn't very sure at first, but after the first part the story picked up... and although it's such a short story that you can't really tell just what's going on exactly, it is an interesting introduction and I can see possibilities with it. I'm interested enough about what will happen to keep on reading, that's for sure. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

From New York Times best-selling author Jamie Thornton, begin a suspenseful journey that follows unlikely heroes deep into an apocalypse. Who will survive? Who will stay human? Mary knows how to thrive on the street. She makes it her mission to keep other kids away from everyday monsters. But when she's attacked by a crazed man clutching a bloody heart, she realizes there's a new kind of monster in town. A single drop of blood, and now Mary's one of the infected. Unless she can stop the virus and save her friends, the new monster in town might just be her. Germination is the opening short novel to a post-apocalyptic Young Adult series where the runaways are the heroes, the zombies aren't really zombies, and you can't trust your memories - even if they're all you have left.
