Diving into a good book made any day perfect and you would be surprised at the num ...more

Good conquers evil

Good does conquer evil and this book is no exception to that rule. Zeeka is a scary person full of evil. He controls zombies he creates. Computerized controls that wreak havoc on the island. Good perseveres in the end.
