Handling the Undead--John Lindqvist

[Scot]

Very slight spoilers...



Just wondering what others' thoughts were on this book. Same guy who wrote Let the Right One In. This is far from your typical zombie story, and so I think it may be polarizing in the zombie fandom. More of a focus on how people react to the return of loved ones. There were multiple character arcs, and while there were one or two I didn't really care for I enjoyed the majority of them. And although there weren't waves of the undead attacking chapter after chapter, there still were a couple moments of true creepy spooks (the island scene especially comes to mind).

So, anyone else read this? What did you think?

I enjoyed this story because it was different. I kind of equated it with Pet Semetary by Stephen King. Handling the loss of a loved one, and what you might go thru to bring them back.
