It's a question as old as time itself: which is better, the zombie or the unicorn? In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the form of short stories. Half of the stories portray the strengths--for good and evil--of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies. Contributors include many bestselling teen authors, including Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Maureen Johnson, Meg Cabot, Scott Westerfeld, and Margo Lanagan. This anthology will have everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?
My Review- 1 Star
DNF-Didn't Finish
Well I was planning on reviewing each story alone then as a group under Unicorn and Zombie then the book as a whole. But only 4 stories in I gave up. There was only a few good stories in this book and well They were by the authors you would have throughout like Cassandra Clare and Garth Nix. So its not surprising that they wrote some great short stories. So for this I am Team Whatever Takes Out the Zombies and the Unicorns.

That the stories are very shot and most of them suck. Sorry to be so blunt but its just the way it is.

I am not sure I should post a comment since there really isn't anything to say about it.
Unicorns for me I guess.
I once read in a book somewhere that Unicorns are vampire's naturalborn enemies due to their horn and it's likeness to a stake.
I've been curious about this one for a while since it has such an odd concept/title, but I've never read it...probably won't read it now :p
Thank you for the giveaway!!

Awww that really sucks that you didn't like most the stories. I have it sitting on my shelf. Even if I read it I'm not sure what team I would end up liking .
