[Image from Goodreads.com]

The Dead By Charlie Higson, published in 2010. "THE DEAD begins one year before the action in THE ENEMY, just after the Disaster. A terrible disease has struck everyone over the age of sixteen, leaving them either dead or a decomposing, flesh-eating creature. The action starts in a boarding school just outside London where all the teachers have turned into zombies. Together they begin a terrifying journey to find safety, and home."- Goodreads

Going into reading this book I figured it would be slightly oddly written like the first book in the series "The Enemy", but I was wrong in this book the writing format was much easier to get used to. This book is set in this day and age in London, England. The story begins with a group of teenage boys in an all boys prep school with them battling their now crazed used to be teachers. The way this book was set up was much easier to read then the last, the characters made more sense and so did the events in the book. This book also helped explain a lot of things I didn't quite understand in the first book which I greatly appreciated. This book is a lot more gruesome then the last though forewarning! All in all I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars because it throughly held my interest and definitely made me want to read the next book in the series.
