The Devil’s Wake by Steven Barnes is a zombie apocalypse story that follows all the usual routes. A strange disease affects people and turns them into flesh eating monsters. The main characters are a group of young people who travel by rickety bus through Washington State, Oregon and into California. I didn’t realize that this was the first book in a series so was rather disappointed with the abrupt ending. Although there was plenty of action and it was a quick, fun read, I don’t think I will be continuing on with this series as it really had nothing new to offer. ( )
Readable and engaging zombie apocalypse that follows a multicultural group of teens as they make their way through Oregon to California in a bus, looking for a place to take them in. The tone is definitely older YA, and even though this is a zombie novel, it's not that gory or explicit. I found it to be an entertaining, light read, but I felt it ended abruptly and didn't follow up on some of the more interesting threads, such as the origins of the zombie plague; it felt like it was setting up for a sequel.

This year, the office where I work brought in someone to give people flu shots, making it easier for people to get them. Despite the fact that I declined the invite and didn’t fill out the paperwork, one of the admin at the office still called me to bully me into getting one. Peer pressure does not work on me for things I don’t want to do, so I didn’t get one. I’m opposed to them for a lot of reasons, one of which being my fear of needles, but that’s not the only reason, despite coworkers insistence that I need to stop being a ‘wussy.’ Thanks to Devil’s Wake, I have a new reason to dislike the flu shot: it could totally turn you into a zombie.
