I read this book way back in 2009 for the first time right after I discovered Scott Westerfeld. Then it captured my fascination and when I had a spare 20$ and couldn't decide what new book I wanted to buy I decided to go with an old book that I loved when I first read it. At the time I was listening to a lot of Cemeteries of London by Cold Play which after the second read I believe suits the book better than any other music that I can think of.
It is a book about a girl named Mary who lives in a highly secretive society that's fenced in from the rest of the world. There was a virus that consumed the world turning everyone into unconsecrated (zombies) which made everything outside their small village dangerous. As we all know good things don't last forever and neither did this utopia.
I find this book very depressing. It just keeps on getting worse and worse but the ending is very satisfying. I really love how strong of a character Mary is. She is very inspirational and earns her spot on my "courage heroins" shelf. I give this book 9 red vests out of 10. It is very good but you really need to be prepared for it.
This book has two covers. The new one isn't great but the old one has my heart. It was the one that drew me in and made me read it.

Isn't the old one better?
