A comment on Zola and THE NEW HUNGER

I want to share this comment from a reader because it says a lot of things I'd like to say but from a perspective more credible than the guy selling something:





I know lots of people are really not fans of ebooks, but Zola are fantastic. Someone there was very patiently answering my emails at 5:55 New York time (on a Friday!) to make sure I got the book (I was having difficulties because I'm in the UK). To anyone worrying about it, don't - they really do seem to care about their customers, authors and books.


Anyway, The New Hunger kept me up most of the night - first reading it straight through and then my head was buzzing thinking about it. It was a joy to get some more insight into these characters. Some things about them really surprised me. It confirmed Nora Greene as my favourite character - she's just incredible. And that moment where the new character gives *that* speech - my hair stood on end (sorry to be vague, I just don't want to spoil it for anyone).


While I was really happy to hear there was a sequel to Warm Bodies on the way - just because spending time with these characters is always going to make me happy - I didn't think it was *needed*. But The New Hunger opens the world up so much, I've completely changed my mind.

Scott-robert Shenkman I have to agree with you. I have a Kindle app on my Droid, and I tried to buy the book on Friday 2/1. Needless to say, as I am not a techie, it was a nightmare to download. Their customer service manager also helped me - until after 7 PM when I fnally got the book on the phone. On a Friday. In fact, I got an email from the great lady who helped at 10:30 that night making sure I was OK! Now that is truly amazing. I will be spending a lot of time at their website.

Oh, and I saw the movie Saturday. Damn good. They kept a lot of the dialogue, and while the changed the plot some, they still wound up at the same destinaion (with a slight change to the living of course). I thought Nicholas Hoult gave an Oscar nomination worthy performance. Not only did he bring R alive, but he did most of it with eye movements and grunts. And I don't know if you watch Teen Wolf, but Julie and her father kind of reminded me of Allison and Mr. Argent!

I had some issues downloading it too, but Zola was very helpful. Customer service emailed me back right away to make sure I was able to get it downloaded. Apparently, I needed Google Chrome to get it to work.

I saw the movie Friday and Sunday. I loved it so much. I agree Nicholas Hoult was outstanding as R. What a funny, sweet and charming movie. I can't wait to see it again. :)

Scott-robert Shenkman I don’t know if I mentioned this, but I’m putting Warm Bodies in my Top 5 movies since 2000 – and that includes Chicago (my favorite) and The Artist.

Angela Kulig I love ebooks. Love them. That being said. I am hesitant to download something from a buggy site. I understand they have great customer service but I have 5 kids--I don't have time for a tech support phone call that would require quiet in my house. =( It's such a bummer.

And for you guys that asked about the PAPERBACK version of his book; it says on his blog that there will be one. =) No timeframe gven though.

Elizabeth I guess I'll be patient and just wait for the paperback to come out, I like physically having a book in my hand :)
