It is indeed about much more than the protagonist being a zombie. She is most definitely not your usual zombie to say the least.

I will admit that anything concerning zombies gets my attention but beyond that your review made this book a definite must read for me! Thanks

intriguing. I am interested to read it. i do hope it explains how the girl became undead, though. if not, i will wonder about that for a really long time.

I already posted a comment when this review was published, but I want to congratulate the author on receiving a glowing review and being BOTD today!

Rssllue, it was worth reading your review again just for the phrase "mildly rotting zombie." I need to find a way to use your phrase in ordinary conversation - hahaha. Seriously, I am not a big fan of horror books (I get too scared), but I love humorous books and it seems like the horror is tempered with an injection of humor here.

Excellent review, rssllue! After reading it, I've become even more excited for this read! I don't typically like horror, but since there is both humor and non-goriness, then I will definitely be giving it a read.
Congratulations to the author for receiving such a positive review and for being BOTD! :tiphat:
