Dust and Decay by Jonathan Maberry (Zombie book)
I just finished the book and let's not waste time, it was awesome. I thought it was a perfect ending of the book and I can't wait to read the next book because there was some forshadowing. I would recomend this to anyone who likes and adventure, I think the characters might have been in a new place every chapter. I think the thematic statement would be this: go with your gut. There have been a lot of tricky situations that thinking wasn't possible so the characters had to think fast and go with it. The only bad thing is that I'm trying not to become attached to any of the characters much because they could die at any second so it's kind of like The Walking Dead. But one of the good things is that if you don't like a certain character then they could also die at any second so you don't have to deal with them anymore. So I hope you are interested in this book(this series starts with Rot and Ruin, this is the second book out of four).

Dust and Decay by Jonathan Maberry: Character Symbols
Tom- I would say that what best symbolizes Tom is a textbook. He never does anything bad or hurts anybodys feelings and when he does get into some trouble he follows his own rules that he has made for himself every time. He does everything perfectly.
Benny- What symbolizes Benny is a puppy. He often makes many mistakes but learns from them everytime, also he is unpredictable and causes trouble.
Nix- What symbolizes Nix is a brand new computer. You don't know what to expect and she is hard to figure out. Somtimes she's mad somtimes she's happy. And finally she is treated so delicately by Benny.
Chong- What symbolizes Chong is a child. He makes lots of mistakes. But because of his mistakes he is growing each day how to live in the world and starts to know things before they happen.
Lilah- Finally what symbolizes Lilah is a puzzle. I still can't figure her out but now that I've seen what she has done so I get her personality a little bit, just her personality. You can't guess what she does next, I've tried it many times and it doesn't end up like I imagined it.
Based on what I said about these characters what else can you think of to symbolize them?

Dust and Decay by Jonathan Maberry Best and worst thing about my book
The best thing about my book is that the author writes a bang or a cliffhanger every chapter making me wanting me to read more. There was two cliffhangers at the end of a chapter I read. This also keeps me interested because the author hints stuff in the middle of the chapter. But because there is so much stuff happening it's hard to remember everything like small things which lead to big things (I did have to reread some pages which I didn't like). Don't think that all of this ruines the book because it doesn't. So I would recommend this book to you.
