The Reading Chic: Review: Zombies vs Unicorns by Holly Black and .

It's a doubt as old as time itself: which is better, the zombie or the unicorn? In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the pattern of little stories. Half of the stories portray the strengths-for right and evil-of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies.

Contributors include many bestselling teen authors, including Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Maureen Johnson, Meg Cabot, Scott Westerfeld, and Margo Lanagan. This anthology will give everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?Released: September 21st, 2010Published by: Margaret K. McElderrySeries: -Overall Rating: 2 out of 5Source: Book StorePage Amount: 304Age Group Recommend: 12 and upThis book me over a month to read. OVER A MONTH. That is simply plain crazy. I felt as it was merely being dragged on and on.When I would be reading this book while in class, a lot of kids would total up to me and say "who`s winning?", and I had to tell them that they weren`t having an actual fight, it was only a crowd of little stories for the team you were on. They walked off from me.Since this is an assemblage of little stories, I will not put the ratings on the ass of the review like I usually do, since I can`t honestly rate this case of book.I didn`t wish this book. Not at all. I was attracted to the unique cover, not the concept. To be honest, I have never take a word about either a zombie or a unicorn, so neither zombies or unicorns are my thing, but I wanted to learn this book anyway. Why did I even pick it up?I will discourage you now, this survey is loss to be short. I have never done a survey on a little story collection like this, so this is a start sentence for me.This word just wasn`t really for me, it may be for other people, it simply wasn`t for me. Its only my opinion, which is obviously a lot different from a bulk of the readers, if you compare from the reviews on GoodReads.Love,Sierra
