Jane really grew on me in this book. Which is surprising considering she is now even more vicious than she was in the first book ;)
A take on the zombie apocalypse that examines how the introduction of zombies could have affected historical racial inequality. Got to admit it's kind of odd to read about a zombie disease in the age of COVID-19 though. I keep wanting to compare the fictional pandemic to what we're living through right now . . . As a matter of fact, let's do that!
What COVID-19 and the zombie apocalypse (as depicted in the Dread Nation series) have in common:
Okay, so they're actually pretty different . . . still strange to read books with any sort of pandemic connection right now

What COVID-19 and the zombie apocalypse (as depicted in the Dread Nation series) have in common:
- -They bring out racial prejudice. Prejudice against people of Asian decent for COVID-19 and prejudice against black people for the zombies.
- -The price of necessities increase as a result of the infection.
- -Both can be spread by contact with bodily fluids.
- -People search for a vaccine. (Okay, so maybe the search in Dread Nation is rather messed up, but still...)
