Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Reapers are the Angels (Reapers #1)
Zombies have infested a fallen America. A young girl named Temple is on the run. Haunted by her past and pursued by a killer, Temple is surrounded by death and danger, hoping to be set free. For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself - and keeping her demons inside. She can't remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her on a personal journey toward redemption. Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks.

4.5 out of 5 stars This is a gruesome and beautiful book. This allegorical tale of a 15-year-old girl wandering a barren wasteland should not be beautiful, because she's fighting off zombies and a guy who's dead set on executing her. But it is. The writing is lush and gorgeous, the kind that makes you want to sink down and roll around in it until some small part of it is absorbed into your skin. *******************************************************Excerpt:It was deep night when she saw it, butThe Reapers are the Angels is one of those books which I find extremely difficult to review because whatever I might say about it, it is never enough and it sounds banal.Right from page 1, it was clear to me that this book stands in a category of its own in respect to YA lit - but then, can it even be considered YA lit? One sure thing I can say is that this is literature.In fact, one of the traits which make this book really stand out is certainly the quality of its writing: metaphorical,
I don't understand what makes a blockbuster of a book. I read The Road and honestly hated it. This book does a similar theme and does it so much better and is so much better written. So why does one succeed and one isn't as well known?Temple is a young 15 year old girl on her own. She wasn't born before the zombies took over. She was born after. It's all she has ever known. This character is one of the strongest female characters that I think I have read about. I ADORED her. She feels that she

This book is a very interesting blend of literary fiction, horror, western, and post-apocalyptic landscape. Its original and it stands apart from the ravenous mobs of zombie novels published recently. The main character has a very well developed point of view that I havent seen before, and the ending left my mind reeling with possibilities.The opening of the story seems beautiful, almost idyllic. Temple has found a sanctuary in an island lighthouse, where she goes through the daily chores of
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of thewicked one;The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is theend of the world; and the reapers are the angels.As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;so shall it be the end of this world. There are people who are not going to read this book just because they dont read books with zombies. They may not read it because it is horror, fearing that they will be

Would it be a stretch to call it a Faulkner-esque zombie tale?From the start, Reapers quickly distinguishes itself in the zombie apocalypse genre. Temple, our heroine, has found herself a deserted lighthouse when she experiences the miracle of the fishes. "She left the lighthouse and went down to the beach to look at the moon pure and straight, and she stood in the shallows and let her feet sink into the sand as the patter-waves tickled her ankles. And that's when she saw it, a school of tiny
