Jeremy Barker is a 14-year-old zombie movie fanatic, attempting to navigate the tough world of an all-boys Catholic high school while dealing with his stoner/sex-addict older brother, pill-popping mother, and his dad, who mysteriously disappears night after night. To deal with life, he's created a survival code based on the zombie movies he so loves, which works until he begins investigating a disturbing video he finds in his father's office. The book gives a great look at how teenagers talk and think when the rest of us aren't around, but the mystery of the video is a little flat and the sudden violent turn at the end (one word: ew) didn't really appeal to me. But that also seemed to mirror the few zombie movies I've seen, so perhaps someone who enjoys zombies more would get more out of it.
