Made the list for
Best Badass Zombie Books...
http://badassbookreviews.com/the-best...
Lessons learned from R (who happens to be a zombie)
1. Sometimes you are up, and sometimes you are down. That is until the power goes out and you are stuck.
2. Freaking out is not going to help, instead get married!
3. Sometimes a little brain goes a long way, unless of course you just ate the last of it, and then you are so screwed.
4. It is not our words but our actions that speak loudest regarding who we are.
5. A name is just that. Your identity is what people remember about you when you leave the room.
6. Sometimes humans are scarier than zombies!
I'll eventually do a real review but I just adored R and for the time being will leave this review like this.

"from page 10- "In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral celings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, it all collapses." I must be part Zombie, because that is how I feel sometimes!" |

"From page 16- "Without hesitation I pounce on him & bite through his neck. Then I dig my fingers into the crack in his skull, and pry his head open like an eggshell. His brain pulses hot and pink inside." Even though the descriptions are very gross, they make sense since you are reading it from the zombie's viewpoint." 8 comments |

"From page 37- "I look at her blankly. Hungry? Does she want an arm or leg? Hot blood, meat and life? She's Living...does she want to eat herself? Then I remember what being hungry used to mean. I remember beefsteaks and pancakes, grains and fruits and vegetables, that quaint little food pyramid." I love this book!" |

26.0% | "R grasping for his lost humanity and an identity is so heartbreaking. His sense that he is more than a shell of his zombie body makes me want to love him! Yes, it's true... I have a crush on a zombie." |

63.0% | "I can't handle this book, not because of the blood, and gore but because the actual story is heartbreaking. Never in a thousand years, would I think an author cold make a book like this work but he definitely has." 8 comments |

Not that far but I'll let you know if it happens... don't body parts fall off on zombies.... how does a male zombie not lose his.....

zombie rot, so unless them digesting brains keep them intact, there must be body bits falling off.

Wendy, in that case, it's best that you don't read this book. I'm telling you, there were two naked zombies dry humping each other. Gross! Michelle, exactly. No functioning body parts!

LOL! This book is going to be fun.
willaful wrote: "Not a zombie fan, but it sounds so good I've requested it."I hope you like it. Believe it or not, even though I've been reading a bunch of zombie books lately, I'm not a zombie fan. It just so happens, a bunch of really good, well written books as of late, happen to have zombies in them.
It's awesome, you and Wendy, who I follow re: reviews, are both reading, or have read this book. Still waiting for the library to find it for me.
Shelley wrote: "It's awesome, you and Wendy, who I follow re: reviews, are both reading, or have read this book. Still waiting for the library to find it for me."Wendy and I have a habit of reading zombie books at almost the same time, usually just shortly after Maja has read the book. In truth, I just stalk their reviews waiting for the next good book and then go find it!
I hope you get a copy soon. My copy is now on the desk of employee number 2 (though employee #1 took it upon herself to lend my book to employee #2)
Reluctant zombie lovers unite! :D I'm not much of a zombie person either, but darned if I know why some of the best books that have been written in recent years involve them.
Wendy Darling wrote: "Reluctant zombie lovers unite! :D I'm not much of a zombie person either, but darned if I know why some of the best books that have been written in recent years involve them."Isn't that weird? And really, the actual zombies are minor in the telling of the story.
I took a semi break and am nearly finished with Treachery in Death, then Eve, then Graveminder before starting Rebirth and Deadline.Ever wonder how a vampire vs zombie novel would do? Just a thought.

Depends on the zombie and vampire I think. Some zombies are pretty mindless and you can pretty much get away from them easily. However, I've read a few books where the zombie could give a vampire a run for his/her/its money.
Then we could have zombies ala Resident Evil that are fast and nearly indestructible! Ok, so I'm seriously losing it.
Lol, I think it's time for us to admit that we ARE all zombie lovers. It will sure do wonders for our reputations. :D(view spoiler)
There is nothing wrong with being a zombie lover. lol At least that's what I tell myself all the time.

I'll never tell. Of course, it is only due to your distance from me, otherwise the posters would be up all through your campus...

If I ask him to do something like wash the dishes, he definitely moans and groans and can barely move from the couch. Isn't that zombie-like characteristics?

You make an excellent point. I would watch him closely for any further signs. LOL
I was just using our library's weird "aqua browser" to try to find books about exercise warm-ups and it sent me to this!

Not sure how I feel about the movie, to be honest. Not really happy with the casting, but....i definitely plan on seeing it as soon as it comes out. :)

Same here. I'm just curious to see how they'll handle it!
