Though I loved the concept of The Forest of Hands and Teeth (zombie apocalypse devestates the world), I was ultimately disappointed in the novel itself. Mary, the narrator, is hard to like, and the other characters are so underdeveloped that I found it hard to care about any of them. Really, the only character I did care about was Argos, the puppy that Harry gives Mary early on. The resolution of the novel was ultimately anti-climactic, in part because I didn't feel like there was anything at stake; Mary was just so blase about her life and the lives of others' that I never really felt we were building to a realistic conclusion. Too, a novel with such an original concept requires major world-building, and though Carrie Ryan does a decent job with it, I was left with far more questions than answers. I think she's writing a sequel, and I hope she plans to develop this post-apocalyptic world more fully.
