I'm back

This is my first posting in over a year.  The reason for this is that it has been blocked in school.
Now it has been unblocked.

I'm reading two very interesting books. The first is Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry.  This is a futuristic novel in which the world has been infected by a disease that has caused its citizens to turn into zombies. First Night is the beginning of the infection that seems to be caused by a bite from an infected individual.  The story centers around two brothers.  Tom is a zombie hunter.  On First Night after their father was infected, he takes his brother and runs, following his mother's instructions. Benny, the younger bother, only remembers that his brother ran and does not remember the circumstances behind it.  As a result, Benny thinks his brother is a coward.  Since Benny is approaching his 15th birthday, he must find a job or see his rations cut in half.  Benny and his friend try many different jobs, but Benny is running out of options.  He finally chooses to apprentice with his brother.  As the story unfolds, Benny and Tom go out into the Rot and Ruin so Benny can learn what his brother's job is really like.  I am about half way through this book and enjoying it.  Although a little bit tamer, readers who have read The Forest of Hands and Teeth would enjoy this book.   The second book in the series has already been published.
