The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell
3.0
What I Liked
I absolutely loved the poetic writing style of this book. The first chapter had me mesmerized. Bell is certainly a wordsmith. One of my favorite lines within the few pages were, "...she listens to the ocean wind whistling loud through the hollow flute of her tall home."
What I Didn't Like
There was some racy (and near-rape) content that left me feeling a bit uncomfortable, so I probably wouldn't recommend this to my friends or young readers. The descriptions of the zombies are exciting and realistic, but towards the end of the book, the science fiction got a little weird for me.
Overall, I enjoyed the writing, but not all of the content.
