COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not for me.. but not bad... submitted by ValerieL on August 8, 2012, 2:50pm I didn't get all the way through this book because while I like steampunk stuff, I'm not all that fond of zombies and unbeknownst to me when I checked it out, zombies are a big part of the plot of this book. However, the little bit I did read seemed okay when it came to the writing style and all. If it weren't for the zombies, I think I could've enjoyed this book more.

So if you like steampunk fiction and you don't mind zombies (or even like them), you might enjoy this more than I did.
