Jeremy is all about the zombies. He loves zombie movies, he has zombie survival codes and the ceiling in his room is covered by zombie movie posters. He is just starting school at a boys only Catholic school, and life sucks. His mom is a morphine addict, his brother is a sex addict and his father is missing more often than not. While snooping in his fathers office, he comes upon a DVD that he saw his least favorite teacher give to his dad. The story follows Jeremy through his typical teenager life, but adds in all sorts of atypical events.

I wanted to love this book. I enjoyed the story, but felt the language was really too strong. I remember high school, and no people didn't really talk or act like these kids did. At least those I was around. I am not a prude, but inserting the f word every possible place it was overkill, and did nothing for the story. Other than that, I liked the characters, all except the father. It was interesting to see zombies related to regular life, and religion. I also wasn't too keen on the ending.
