Too scared

First of all, it needs to be clear that THE NEW HUNGER by Isaac Marion is obviously not for children, so please keep that in mind.

Secondly, I was surprised to find as I read first WARM BODIES and then THE NEW HUNGER that the comedic element that comes across in the movie version of WARM BODIES does not translate the same on the written page.  There are times when I found myself laughing during WARM BODIES, but not so much in THE NEW HUNGER.  I didn't find anything in the prequel to be funny at all.  In fact, the prequel is much more horrifying and truly creepy as one would expect of a zombie story.

I kept waiting for R to appear in the story, so I was quite surprised by the ending.  I'm going to have to go back and read it again because I missed that particular detail and it might have helped me understand some things in this particular story.

I did not like it as much as I did WARM BODIES, but it did help with some back-story.  I'm still a bit lost, but it's because I didn't get the "surprise" that is revealed at the end.  I'm sure that when I go back and re-read it, I won't have any trouble understanding the story.
