I, Zombie by Hugh Howey

4.0

Such an interesting take on zombies. Really original and expanded my thoughts on how zombies would operate and be created. I think a lot of zombie novels forget to expand upon the actual zombie itself, so this was extremely interesting to me from a mythological point of view. The characters were all complex and had diverse backgrounds, but all really told the same story: they were turned and had some control over their thoughts and action for a bit before the primal zombie took over and they could no longer do anything more than search for food. The horror and the concept were interesting and well expanded upon, however, I think there was too many different points of views that never really got finished. These left me wondering what was happening. As well, the different points of views were at times confusing because they didn't really overlap with one another so I was unsure as to why certain character's stories were grouped together while others were not.
Overall: 3.5/5 stars but rounded up for the star calculator! For fans of zombie lore and anyone who wants a fresh perspective on something that has been done multiple, multiple times.
