Entertaining and interesting. Some crude homophobic humor that I couldn't be sure was just the characters (stupid teenage boys) since I don't know the author, so that took me out of it a bit. Halfway through I wasn't sure if I would continue - while there was a lot of clever stuff and bits that made me snicker it hadn't really grabbed me - but then there were some interesting turns and I'm glad I finished. A good addition to my (admittedly limited) zombie library.

What on earth did I just read?! I can't decide if I liked it or not. XD Very interesting and a nice, easy read! Just what I needed in between the morbid books I've been reading.

Overly machismo and "ouch"-inducing hipness by adults to appeal to youth. Sorry.

This was a DNF in the first chapter for me- as an adult that loves reading YA and MG books, I just couldn’t get past the writing in the first few pages of this one. Which is as extremely disappointing because this book sounded like a ton of fun.
Just personal preference.

The Infects is prose stylist Sean Beaudoin's entry in the teen cannibal catastrophe sweepstakes. Loaded with pop culture references and sarcasm, this book is fast and freaky and lots of fun. Seventeen-year-old Nero was already having a bad week, sentenced to an Outward Bound-type trip for juvenile delinquents, when all of a sudden everybody but the bad boys on the bus falls victim to a virus that causes zombie-like behavior, i.e. lurching, drooling, and lusting after human flesh. You'll never look at fast-food chicken the same way again.

Such a fun read. Definitely check it out if zombies & gore is your thing. Also good if you like some unusual dystopian fiction.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

plot was a little silly at times but this book really grabbed and kept me reading to see what would happen next
