God Save the Queen (review)


God Save the Queen is one of te short stories of the well known book “Encouters with the Hungry Dead”. This collection of horror and supernatural stories about dead and zombies, written by masters of the horror, has become the favourite of those who love this kind of tales. This one, in particular, written by John Skipp and Marc Levinthal, gets you closer to the worlds of the dead and the living beings, and shows you the different ways of “surviving” of both. God Save the Queen tells the story of an ordinary living boy who lives few days with the Royal family. After having stayed for a short time with the queen and her family, he becomes almost a member of the family and an important character of the story carrying it to an unthinkable end.

God Save the Queen is an excellent story to be read by the ones who love tales about walking dead and at the same time it could make you reflect about the power of the monarchy and the difference between ordinary people and the royal family.

Just a brief recomendation: if you are going to cite a name of an author or the name of another book try to cite it precisely, especially in a review. The name of the book is "Zombies: Encounters with the Hungry Dead".

Hi Silvia! Nice review, the title souns very attractive for me. Although I like it, in line 8 you wrote living boy who lives, I've understood that you want to clarify between dead ones and live ones, but by writing just "who lives" I think that it is not necessary to write living boy. Anyway, that it's my opinion, I hope you don't mind.

Good review! Still, some changes may help you to improve it. For instance, I would have split the first paragraph into two separate ones. In addition, there are some prepositions that can be checked.
