Me gusto pero no lo ame. Aclaremos que odio los zombies y me encuentro a mi misma leyendo este libro para prepararme para cuando vea la película ~~porque básicamente deseo ver Nicholas Hoult en el cine~~.

Odie todo el tiempo que pase leyendo este libro, no es que sea un mal libro porque definitivamente no lo es. Incluso esta muy bien escrito. La historia es un poco creepy para mi gusta ya que leer desde la perspectiva de un zombie es algo nuevo para mi. Todo lo que pensaba R era tan extraño y me gusto, la forma en que estaba narrado fue muy sencilla e hizo que leer este libro fuera mas soportable. No es una lectura pesada (gracias a Dios), pero en algunas partes era tan normal pero en algunas partes las cosas eran tan irónicas, cosas como:

Estoy muerto, pero no es tan malo. He aprendido a vivir con ello.

Osea, esta muerto, y aprendió a VIVIR con ello. Ok, no es gracioso. Pero no lo supero.

Lo que mas me gusto de todo fue el final. Esta es la segunda vez que leo un libro post-apocalíptico el cual tiene un buen final, un milagro de la vida.

La única objeción que tengo es que pienso que este libro seria mas o menos mejor si tuviera un punto de vista alternativo entre R y Julie.

P.S: Isaac Marion, estoy segura que si tus libros no fueran sobre zombies, estaría enamorada de ellos.

awesome book, really refreshing to read a zombie story from the zombies perspective although it's sad to realise R has better relationship's than me haha. I think there could of been more of the present story in there instead of all of Perry's flash backs but good none the less XD

I never thought I would love a zombie. But R has changed my mind. Right when I started this book I began to think about a lot of things. Can zombies really communicate like that? Do they really do those things? (You know...if they were real.) I loved this book so much that it changed my mind on how I might react during a zombie apocalypse...you know, if one ever happens. LOL

This was such an interesting and quick read! I really enjoyed the main character, R and I loved reading from his perspective and hearing his thoughts. It was such an eye-opener in a way, but there were a few issues I had with it, mainly to do with Perry/Julie and the way it ended. Other than that, it was light and interesting and filled the gap that I was looking for!

Such a famous and well loved topic taken on in a new way. This book is about the zombie apocalypse but it ingeniously covers it from the most uncommon view, the zombie's perspective. This tale, cleverly similar to Romeo and Juliet, makes the reader really review and contemplate the zombie apocalypse and usual perception of what it would be like. Hearing the story through a Zombie and his thoughts draws out so many similarities between the real world and a fictional apocalypse. Not only does this book make the reader analyze the current world, but its also just a very interesting read. Couldn't put it down! Will definitely pick up the other books in the series.
