A review by wildflowerz76
Kiss of Life by Daniel Waters

4.0

I appreciate that the author's trying to make a statement about discrimination in this novel. And I also appreciate that we're talking about teenagers. But am I the only one who thought they just weren't doing enough? I mean, the media, the police, etc all think it's the zombies who are doing these horrible things. I understand Tak not going directly to the police and I also understand that he's not supposed to be the most tolerant of the Beating Hearts. But isn't Phoebe supposed to be such a great writer? Doen't they have this website? Why don't they use her writing abilities to tell the truth. I understand that they think the entire media is suppressing the truth (sounds familiar, yes?), but shouldn't they at least TRY to get the truth out there? Shouldn't they send their story about the true events of what's happening to the print and news media? At the very least, put the truth on the website. And after the website's shut down? How hard is it to make a new one? Oh well. I still enjoyed this one, but it's probably the least favorite of the YA series I've been trying lately and I definitely liked the first book in the series better than this one.
