Carrie Ryan's books have fantastic titles. This is a companion book to "The Forest of Hands and Teeth," the zombie apocalypse book reviewed here.
"Waves" takes place in a different community in the zombified world, where the oppressive order of the other book doesn't exist. A different society has been established, and whether it's better or not is debatable. There is a lot of sighing and declarations about feelings. After a few pages it bothered me, and after hundreds of pages it grew tiresome.
One character has a crush on another and it leads the first to do amazingly stupid things. It is worse than that vampire book for teenage obsession and recklessness.
The writing is weaker and the story lacks the tension of its companion book. It provides an interesting perspective on the other story, but the other is superior to it.
Still, great title.
