“I don't want to die, I thought. Not again.�
� Daniel Waters, Passing Strange

Passing Strange is the third book in the Generation Dead series. Passing Strange offers the reader an entirely new perspective, following Karen rather than Phoebe. This allows the story to explore directly from the point of view of one of the "Zombies", offering an interesting and exciting insight into the emotional impact of returning from the dead and surviving in the world without the rights offered to those living.

One of the greatest aspects of passing strange is its exploration of depression and other mental health issues and their effects on a person and their family, pre and post death.

Passing Strange Ends in a place that could work somewhat as a (Unsatisfying) conclusion however leaves the story open for a continuation of the series (There are a number of short stories and collection that tells stories but no direct continuation of the series currently)

Overall, Passing Strange is a great 3rd act to the Generation Dead story whose strength lies much more within the character exploration than the overall story.
