Seventeen-year-old zombie Rex Morton would do anything to fit in at his new school and hold onto his first love. Rex’s fiercely protective mother strong arms the yet another small town school district into accepting her son by threatening a lawsuit. At Plain View High, Rex falls for fiery goth girl, Ariella Klopenstein, the daughter of the Police Chief. While Rex struggles to fit in, Ariella would do anything to be different, anything not to wind up stuck in Plain View. As the Z-virus spreads west and the country panics, Rex and Ariella must find a way to overcome Rex’s mother who wants to break them apart and flee town, a school principal who wants Rex expelled, Ariella’s father, the Police Chief, who thinks Rex is dangerous, and a government zombie round-up aimed at solving the zombie problem once and for all.

About the Author Author Mark Souza has always been a storyteller, whether explaining who filched the ice cream, or what happened to the cat’s tail. He learned most of life’s lessons from the business end of a wooden spoon, and the rest from public schools spanning the breadth of North America, all of which were overjoyed to be rid of him. He became an author of short stories and novels in the horror, mystery, thriller, and young adult genres later in life, after time and a desk job had softened his edges, transforming him into the round, doughy shape Big-&-Not-So-Tall shops crave. Mark was the proud recipient of the 2013 Indie Reader Award for Best Science Fiction for his debut novel Robyn’s Egg. He now resides in Western Washington with his wife (also an author), two daughters, and their dog of questionable heritage, Tater. Visit his website; http://www.marksouza,com. There you’ll find a multitude of ways to make contact. Mark enjoys cordial correspondence and will write back. He’s always on the lookout for that next victim reader.

Very Engaging and Heartwarming Zombie Novel By Claudette Melanson-Author of Dark Fantasy I am a big fan of zombie books, and the title of this one really caught my eye, because I really love dinosaurs too. Just so happens, the T-Rex is my favorite. But I digress... This book pulled me right in from the beginning. Some books I can't really get into because the writing is subpar or the characters fail to catch my interest, but the writing is solid and very effective at weaving together a story I couldn't wait to get back to when forced to put it down.I love the way the author used an extreme case, zombie-ism, to point out how badly we humans fail at acceptance a large part of the time. The author was spot-on with the behavior of the bullies in this story, whether they were fellow classmates of Rex's or military men. It's that whole dynamic of the human tendency to turn on and destroy anything we find to be different from ourselves. But I liked how some of the characters could change their minds and see things differently. Sometimes there is a scarcity of books where one gets to see the bully become more enlightened.The characters I found to be very well-developed. Howie was funny, Rex endearing, Ariella brave, and Rex's mother, Celia, was all that a mother should be, caring for her son in a situation many might find too difficult to handle. All stayed true to form too and were believable. One thing I did wonder about was the state of Rex's body. He didn't seem to be deteriorating or rotting much and could be easily fixed. I wondered if the zombies remained frozen and just undead without decomposing further. It was fresh to see zombies who were just like other people as long as they were well-fed. It was an interesting twist.As I said before, the book is very well-written and does a great job with exploring the reaction of humanity when faced with the unknown. It isn't meant to be a high action book (not all of them are) but does a great job, I think, of including just enough of that element without ruining the emotional impact of the book.Highly entertaining and would love to see a sequel. There is a lot that could be done to continue the story. I give it 4.8 stars!

By CarrieGreenBooks Here’s the truth about the extremely popular category Young Adult, too often authors have focused on what YA doesn’t have such as sex and swear words and then assume that they have earned the YA label. A certain amount of innocence is part of YA, but even more important is that a YA novel should explore the angst and uncertainty of being a teenager. A successful YA novel must examine this age of self discovery that every reader has gone through (or, if younger, is about to embark upon) and provide some insight into how to survive this rite of adolescence and come out the other side as a responsible adult.A YA hero or heroine should tackle important questions like who am I, who do I want to be—it’s often about making life-impacting choices. Themes that are paramount in high school such as being popular, not being popular, being loved, being smart, being pretty, being a nerd, being a bully, being poor, being rich, dealing with authority figures/adults, are front and center. Being a teenager is all about learning how to handle life situations that you will encounter, again and again, but never quite as, traumatically, as that very first time… Your first love, your first kiss, your first fight, your first best friend, first real enemy, and the first time that your trust is abused or rewarded…Mark Souza’s Zombie-saurus Rex captures all of this and more. He presents an entertaining mash-up of Romeo and Juliet, Carrie, and every zombie movie ever filmed, then, spins all our plot and character assumptions around, giving us a fun, thrilling, joy-ride of a novel.Rex Morton is the new kid at his high school. He was unfortunate enough to become infected with the Z-virus, which, while it is still fatal--you are dead--it is manageable, in that periodic servings of calf brains will keep you from munching on human brains. Like any contagious terminal condition, there is fear of the unknown, which is not assisted by looking different. This has resulted in several relocations and several new high schools, a routine that is beginning to wear on Rex. Being a teenager isn’t easy. Being a teenage zombie, well, you can imagine the challenges.A scene that captures how well Souza’s novel explores YA themes is seen in Rex’s interaction with a school bully, who taunts him with the name ‘Zombie-saurus Rex.’ Rex keeps his cool and is able to turn the situation around, so that the bully is now in his debt (read the scene in the free sample posted on Amazon).The heroine is Ariella Klopenstein, a girl who is already bucking the accepted social norms by wearing all black. She befriends this strange new boy, because, like him, she’s an outsider and can sympathize with his situation. Her role in this tale is as important as Rex’s as her courage inspires others and she goes from being a misfit to a leader of her peer group.The novel provides the reader all the classic elements of a YA novel, the first romance, the epic football game, the rebellion against authority and ends with an outstanding homecoming dance, but these scenes are tweaked with the unexpected originality and sense of humor that only Souza can supply. Zombie fans will enjoy another take on the mythology of zombies without breaking the boundaries of content that is still suitable for young adults. It made me recall such classic 1980’s teenage films as ‘Breakfast Club,’ ‘Footloose’ and ‘Valley Girl.’ Don’t hesitate—buy this novel for yourself and any young adults in your life!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. full of originality and a lot of fun! By donniedarkogirl I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Zombie-saurus Rex was a really cool zombie story. Full of originality and fun, I cared about Rex. A lot. And I really wanted him to get a happy ending. I know, I know. He's a zombie. But he isn't like any other zombie I know, except maybe R from Warm Bodies. But Zombie-saurus Rex is completely different from Warm Bodies - in this novel, zombies can still do things like speak and go to school, but humans are leery of them, to the point where some in the military want to put them in internment camps or just go ahead and kill them all.In a sense, I could understand people's trepidation, after all, what are zombies infamous for craving? But if Rex gets to eat his calf brain for lunch and has snacks here and there (snacks he's brought with him!) then there's no reason to panic about him coming after you. He just wants to graduate high school and maybe go to college. The problem is, Rex and his mother have had to move so many times he finds himself behind in school academically sometimes, plus it's difficult to learn when you have to deal with other kids harassing you.I love Ariella! And I love that Rex does end up making a male friend, Howie. Ariella wants to be different, so much so that she goes out of her way to try to stand out from everyone else. I had forgotten she's the daughter of the Chief of Police, and so I cracked up when he knocks on Rex's door looking for her. Poor Rex had no idea! The two of them were what I thought of as the dynamic duo. I don't think there was anything Rex could have done that would've phased Ariella or made her stop liking him. Nothing. And that's the kind of friend you need at any age.Zombie-saurus Rex does an excellent job of giving you an escape from the real world while at the same time giving you food for thought (pun intended) about dealing with the presence of discrimination and adversity. I highly, highly recommend this book no matter if you're a fan of zombies or not. If you aren't a fan of them, then you will be after meeting Rex. Promise.
