The beginning of this was a five-star read for me. Off the charts clever and I was completely able to suspend disbelief and believe this "zombie" could have such a smart inner dialogue. The keyword in that sentence is "inner". Once R meets and begins to interact with Julie I lost interest.
This approach to zombies was new and I really enjoyed it. The fact that a herd of them just hung out in, and used as a base of sorts, the local airport made a lot of sense to me. I even liked the idea that R ha ...more

It's a struggle for me to like this book because the idea of thinking and feeling zombies sounds lame to me. I'm not a big fan of zombie romance too, unless it's marketed as a parody. In this book, many elements appeared forced to make convenient situations. The post-zombie/plague apocalypse life was not too convincing as well.

This book is interesting because it was told from the perspective of a zombie. There were some funny parts and some strange parts. A zombie will always be a zombie and will eat your brains if it needs to. The main zombie, who goes by a letter R (or something like that) is out on a food finding mission and runs into a group of teenagers. He lets the reader know that he is articulate, even though he can only speak with grunts or broken words and that he has memories of the people whose brains he e
