it is now saturday morning. i have already finished the first book that i checked out (mister magic by kiersten white). the weather is lovely and all i want to do is sit outside and read. i read the entirety of survivor song by saturday afternoon. i still have a week left before i go back to school and no more library books.
despite the fact that 1. i dont really like zombies but i keep picking up zombie books anyway 2. im so sooo scared of rabies i decided that this was the right book to read for my last week at home. for a little while i felt like this book might be 3 stars for the aforementioned fact that i don't like zombies (because my rating system is one hundred percent subjective) but the last part was really good and i cried in the epilogue.
Spoiler
for a second there before the epilogue i thought EVERYONE, natalie and ramola and the baby died and i kind of had to sit in shock like he would not do that. he really killed EVERYONE????? but then the epilogue made me feel a bit better. and then i cried at it.Spoiler
pretty much within a couple weeks everything was contained and massachusetts went back to normal. i thought that was interesting and kind of sad in a poignant way because it's like there's this horrible apocalyptic event and a couple weeks of hell and countless people die and then all of the sudden things are normal again. or at least they're healing and the virus is mostly gone and the world didn't end. but everything changed so sharply within like one month.also i cannot believe this was written before covid....i cant help but wonder. if he had started it like 6 months later would it be the same book? like there's one doctor (i forget her name sorry) who says that if everyone follows quarantines well this will all blow over in a couple of weeks
