Chasers was an interesting one. It is a good concept - 4 16 year olds find themselves the lone survivors of a zombie apocalypse in New York and have to work out how to survive and find any other survivors whilst struggling with moral dilemmas that the new world brings up. The language was simple and it was very easy to read - I found myself thinking of some of the weaker readers in my library who might enjoy it. I liked it, I am fascinated by abandoned cities and post-apocalyptic survival stuff, so I really enjoyed Phelan's descriptions of the city and the kids' survival methods. The sense of tension is also nicely maintained throughout. I did find, however, that it wasn't entirely clear in some places what was going on - I felt like links between events and the relationships between the 4 main characters weren't described in adequate detail. This does begin to make sense towards the end of the book, but it is a bit off-putting whilst you are reading. Not a lot actually happens during the book, but it is quite short so that is not as noticeable as it might be. I have to say that I really didn't like the ending, and although it makes more sense of the rest of the book I felt like it also almost ruined it. Overall, a good read for those who enjoy the genre with some interesting ideas. Would recommend it to weaker readers.

Not bad. Bit of a twist ending. Overall pretty good.
