Title: Bad Taste In BoysAuthor: Carrie HarrisEdition: hardcoverSeries: Kate Grable #1Released Date: July 12th, 2011Publisher: Delacorte PressGoodreads / Amazon Someone's been a very bad zombie.
Kate Grable is horrified to find out that the football coach has given the team steroids. Worse yet, the steriods are having an unexpected effect, turning hot gridiron hunks into mindless flesh-eating zombies. No one is safe--not her cute crush Aaron, not her dorky brother, Jonah . . . not even Kate! She's got to find an antidote--before her entire high school ends up eating each other. So Kate, her best girlfriend, Rocky, and Aaron stage a frantic battle to save their town . . . and stay hormonally human.
There's only a couple of words to describe this book, and here's two for you: fricken hilarious. This book made me laugh quite a bit, and I was surprised by that! The cover looks so enticing, and the summary gives you a hint that it's gonna be funny - but holy cow! It was a super fun read, that went by really quick, which I'm sad/happy about!
Kate's a super-smart, sleuthing, hilarious character that I could not get enough of! I loved seeing a smart character! I've been quite obsessed with them lately! Makes me feel like I'm not the only girl out there who cares about weird science things! To be honest, she was kind of bad-ass too. She was able to take down those zombies with quick thinking and a bit of power! KATE FOR PRESIDENT. KATE FOR PRESIDENT. Well maybe not president, but maybe a super cool doctor...? Yeah?
The other characters in this were super hilarious - from all the football players, Rocky, Jonah and Aaron! All the relationships in this are super funny to read about as well! Especially Rocky, I loved her!
Also, it was pretty darn cool because this was the first book I've read that has used my boyfriend's last name! It's not a very popular last name, and it was a football player's name that's only mentioned once. But hey! - I still thought it was pretty darn cool!
I definitely can't wait for Bad Hair Day! I'm excited to see where this one is headed between Kate and Aaron, and then the super weird creatures! I know that Bad Hair Day will be the same length, which is kind of a disappointment, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much!
