Product Description

Product Description

Hollowland - the first book in the young adult dystopian series The Hollows..

"This is the way the world ends - not with a bang or a whimper, but with zombies breaking down the back door."

Nineteen-year-old Remy King is on a mission to get across the wasteland left of America, and nothing will stand in her way - not violent marauders, a spoiled rock star, or an army of flesh-eating zombies.

This is a young adult title with some language, violence, and mild sexual situations recommended for ages sixteen and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frickin' Awesome! 10 Dec 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Holy Hell! This is a short read but it packs a lot of punch. Not since the Alien films have I come across such a strong and incredible Heroine as Remy. Between her and the aptly named lioness, Ripley, whom Remy kind of picks up along her across state venture to find her brother, there is an abundance of totally brutal feminine power. It is no wonder Ripley has such an affinity for Remy...she recognises another with the heart of a lioness.

This is a fast-paced, action-packed, tense, gory thrill ride in a zombie-filled America. Amazing characters, awesome and well-written action scenes and a sensitive and beautiful grasp on the the many facets of man when forced into desperate survival.

Hollowland blew me away; Remy blew me away; once again Hocking blew me away! I hope this is only the beginning of this world she has created because I can't bare that a now favourite character of mine should be left hanging on such an open ending.
More please.

FIVE MASSIVE, MASSIVE STARS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sequel please! 21 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I downloaded this as the title interested me (didn't read too much into it actually - just tempted because I'd been avidly working my way through the Kim Harrison books set in the Hollows).

As with other cheapies on my Kindle, it was a while between downloading and reading the book and in fact it surprised me that it was a zombie book. The style of writing and the first person narrative drew me in and I enjoyed it. The main character, at a few places, seemed a little too savvy and knowledgeable, but I let that slide as I was enjoying the read.

It had a few twists and turns...some guessable, others not...and then ended rather abruptly. I am hoping there will be a sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars I never thought I would say this... 20 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
...I was wrong. I thought this would be a Twilight version but with Zombies. I assumed it would be poorly written with little to no inventiveness. I thought there wouldn't be any wit. Any drama. Any good.

Bugger.

I enjoyed this story to the point of nearly crying when I read the last word. Not because of the ending and the pain, suffering, love, hate, life and energy this book contains. But because I didn't want it to end. I WANT TO KNOW MORE!! What happened next? Where does Remy, the heroine, go? What about her borther, Max? Does Ripley keep eating zombies like we pop m&ms? What about Blue, Lazlo...? URGH!!!

So, in short... this is an unexpected gem of a story. It is written by a younger person, there are some mistakes and typos so us anal-freaks will have to ignore them - they are far and few. But the story more then makes up for those small niggles. And trust me, I'm nit-picking.

“Giggle a lot,” Tatum whispered when we got closer. “I don’t giggle.” “Hot girls always giggle,” he insisted, so I tried a small, feminine giggle, but it sounded like a horse or something. “Okay. Never mind. Don’t giggle.” &quote;

Sure, I still didn’t know where my little brother was, or even if he was alive, and man-eating zombies still roamed the hollow shell of the earth, but god dammit, we had a car! &quote;
