The Dead Weight is all the rage right now. I've seen positive review after positive review. I finally decided to give it a try as I am in desperate need of a good zombie book. The book was just okay. It does have a fair amount of twists and turns and it does start off with action. It's quite predictable but has some well written and complex characters. I can see this being a great book for people just entering into the zombie genera.
Quinn is only 16 years old. She lives in a residential treatment center with other teens. They each have their own unique issues and are undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. Quinn has a best friend at the center named Keisha and they team up to escape the enter when they discover that carriers are taking over the city and no one is coming to help them. What they didn't count on was others from the center tagging along.
As they navigate outside the center and try to find a food and shelter the are forced to make some difficult choices and lives are lost. It's all about survival of the fittest and Quinn because the anti-heroine you cheer for.
