I really debated giving this one star but decided against it for reasons unknown even to me. Maybe I feel bad giving one star, i don’t know. Anyways. This book was terrible. One dimensional characters, plot holes everywhere, boring…

Mary's village is a small outpost against The Unconsecrated, the restless dead who will stop at nothing to enter the fences and feed on the living. As far as the villagers know, they're the last vestiges of humanity left in the world. But…

So I don’t really do zombies, and maybe it was my own ignorance but I didn’t realize this was a zombie book when I grabbed it. That being said, once I started reading I couldn’t put the book down. This book was a mix of “The Village” meets…

This really gave me a true insight as to what a dystopian world might look like. I truly enjoyed the "society" the main protagonist felt oppressed by. And, quite frankly, she's a strong protagonist, with the wits and might to maybe, just…

Once I picked this book up I just couldn't put it down. And while the romance in this book is kind of cliche, and some of the side plots thrown in don't mesh well with the story and even ended up kind of confusing me, the last half to…

Mary dreams of the ocean, but lives in a post- zombie apocalyptic gated village run by the religious order called the Sisterhood. Surrounding the village lies The Forest of Hands and Teeth, filled with the Unconsecrated: once men, women…

I absolutely loved this book! But, there was unnecessary death of a few characters that could have been avoided. Overall though, this has been one of my favorite reads. Once I picked it up I literally could not put it down and read the…

Great for those who love horror and zombies!

Being the typical me, I read this book last, after reading the second and third book. I mean, it was good in the sense where I knew some stuff that would happen, and I also didn't put the pieces together fast enough to clue in. The whole…

I had no plans to read the sequel but that last third of the book is so COOL! For one, we finally get some answers and the characters (finally) talk. Yay for communication! I think most of the book is a little heavy on the emotional…

I picked this book up because I couldn't resist the title and ended up really loving the main character. Mary doesn't know what she wants in life, but she does know that it isn't any of the options available to her in her village- how can…

I love the book, hate the character Mary narrating the book. The Forest of Hands and Teeth starts off in a village surrounded by fencing and zombies. The people of this town live their lives within, or apart from the rest of what is out…

Extremely glad I chose this book series. Mary sees beyond what they want her to see. Thrilled to see how this one ends

One of my favourite books in the entire universe... It's thrilling, riveting... utterly flawless. IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ IT AND ARE DILLY-DALLYING AND READING MY CRAP REVIEW... GO READ IT, FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Extremely frustrating at times. Hard to get into. A little slow to get into. Worth the end though.

Rife with beautiful imagery and metaphor, but many of the characters, including Mary, stuck me as shortsighted. The plot felt a little forced at times, particularly the romance, and the later deaths, one more than the other, felt random;…

It was hard to relate and care for the main character when she was so selfish - you really thought she was willing to sacrifice everthing and everyone to fullfill her desires. I also couldn't really understand their approach to dealing…

Disappointing book. A girl who can't make up her mind about what she wants. And in the last chapter the author has her fall asleep because she can't figure out how to get her to the next location and she magically awakens there.…

Took a little to get into this book. Honestly I almost stopped reading it, but I am so glad that I pushed through and finished it. This is a great book and I am about to start book 2.

I was expecting this book to be creepy, and frightening, because....well, zombies. But I wasn't expecting it to be inward-focused. The zombies, while a world-shaping influence (and plenty of creepy), is not the focus of this book. This is…

I LOVE THIS BOOK! IT IS AWSOME! I CAN SEE MY SELF BEING IN MARYS POSITION!

I felt like this book lacks development and could have had more plots. I wished more of the secrets the Sisters were holding would have been revealed. I personally didn't find the zombies scary, though I can see how anyone else could. I…

One of my favorite series, it's very well written with an interesting story, I highly suggest it, the next two books just add to it's greatness! I highly suggest reading this series!

This is one of my favorite series, but not because of the first book. It is interesting and held my attention, but the best part of this book are the next two in the series. If you find yourself frustrauted with Mary (as I often did),…
