A fun zombie POV tale of the apocalypse. I liked the perspective. I liked the characters. It was gory. It was funny. But if you are looking for detective noir (the synopsis promises equal parts horror, humor, and film noir) then you might finish a little disappointed. But only a little. A good zombie read.

This is yet another in the intelligent zombie style of books. What is an intelligent zombie? Well, it's one that can speak and reason like a regular human can, they just need to eat brains. This one was interesting in that he is on an adventure to find his girlfriend, there is the mystery of who killed him in the first place, and of course, what happened and how can they save everyone? There are a lot of unanswered questions at the end, but all in all it was a fun and unique read!

Not bad. Easy summer read. Yeah, I said that a book about the zombie apocolypse is a summer read.

Can Zombies think and talk? This book says some can, and they have interesting things to say.

It's actually a lot more intriguing than I was anticipating it to be. Peter is pretty self-aware, and being an amnesiac gets a lot of digs in at general human behavior. And also he's pretty much the smartest zombie around, with the others being more like "regular" zombies, so there's a lot of protecting of the zombie herd going on that is kind of sweet. On the downside, there's a bit of a plot line revolving around the fact that Peter's car accident was not so accidental, and although the resolution is interesting, the whole thing could have been edited out and I wouldn't notice a lack in the rest of the story.

A Zombie tale from a different perspective. I enjoyed this quiet a bit, but sort of wished the end had been a little stronger.

Honestly? Went into this not expecting a lot. Kind of a campy B-grade horror vibe from the description. And I guess there were parts that fit that mold, but overall, this was a pleasant surprise.

There were a couple of typos in the Kindle version (reported, obviously, since that drives me insane, which hopefully means they'll be corrected soon), and one very bad editing miss (can't go into it without spoilers, but something happened near the end that we'd been told wasn't possible earlier on.

Aside from those issues, it was a pretty good read and had some laugh-out-loud moments mixed in with the yuck factor. Definitely good enough to make me pick up the next book in the series.

4 out of 5 stars.
