I read your review and OMG I thought I was the only person to use the mustache twirling villain reference. My ultimate use of it was for my review of Mira Grant's novel Feed. My review is easy to find it's titled "Mira Grant I hope Zombies Eat Your Brains"

Since you used that description of the governor, I knew exactly what you were going for!


LMAO! Thank you for pointing me to that review. That was a classic bit of high-quality snark! That book sounds absolutely awful, not only from your review but from the terrible synopsis. Sounds to me like somebody wanted to get in good with all the hip and groovy teens and so they wrote about what they thought teens wanted to read about (ie. zombies and the internetz) but, like most middle-aged people, colossally failed because middle-aged people only guess at what teens like. Also sounds like Grant made the same epic fail they all do; she forgot to write a plot in her quest to be hip and happening.

(I figured that anyone with a username of "Badseedgirl" probably thought something like I do.)
