Narrative In Favor Of Books The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth #1)
In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future—between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded by so much death?Identify Books As The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth #1)

The name of this book... When I read it I knew I had to read this book! The name was just promising...After finishing the book I was like: Promising name, beautiful cover...and a lame plot with lame characters inside. I was more than just disappointed in the end. The plot is not thrilling, neither is it creepy or fascinating or dark. It is long-winded, somehow depressed and the protagonist is annoying. Too many question stay unanswered in the end, the write style is boring and it feels forced...I just finished reading, and I'm not sure if I liked it or not. To be honest, I feel sort of drained and depressed now that I am done. However, I've never really read any other stories about zombies, so I don't have anything to compare it to. The plot held my interest, and it is not a very long book, so that is a plus. I can't really say that I sympathized with any of the characters in the story, though.It is told from Mary's point of view, but I didn't really like her very much. I found her
I was very much looking forward to reading this book. Great premise, rave reviews. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. First of all, I truly disliked the writing style. Present tense writing can do wonders in skillful hands (see Wake, Fade by Lisa McMann), but in this case this style was mishandled, it didn't add any kind of intensity to the story. Quite the opposite, I was extremely irritated by it. I don't think this book was in any way original. It read mostly like kind of Village/Dawn of the
It's Zombiefest July! I've been reading zombie books with my MacHalo sisters and felt I needed something a little more, so decided to read this one on my own, in-between other reads.It's the end of the world as we know it. Civilization has long been decimated and no one knows about things like skyscrapers or oceans anymore. All that is known is the forest. The forest is where the "Unconsecrated" are. They have pretty much taken over the world and people have been forced to build huge fences and

How to Write a Best Selling YA Novel1. Make sure you write the book in a POV that distances us from the narrator. If you have no idea how to write 1st Person Present, do it any way. It makes the book confusing and fun for your reader to plow through. Also, make sure your narrator's POV is very boring. Boring enough to put Plato, Jane Austen, and Shakespeare to sleep. 2. Make your narrator a selfish, boring girl with little to no life outside of her love interest and one singular hobby. Whether
Nooooo!!!! I had such high hopes! WARNING: This is not a review! This is me ranting and pouring out my all too many emotions at 1:00 in the moring!I did not finish this, and ended up just flipping around pages to see what would happen. Okay, pretty sure everyone is dead by the end of this book, no lie. And I know who Mary "ends up with" in the end. But guess fucking what??! Everyone's dead. DEAD DEAD DEAD!!!!! This book could have had sooooo much potential!!!! Had the romance not been a complete
