Breathers: A Zombie's Lament by S.G. Browne
3.0
I'm a sucker for all things zombie, so I just had to pick up this book.
Breathers ended up being better than I expected. There are shades of social commentary in here. Think of how many human being we treat as "unpeople": the homeless, illegal immegrants, the mentally infirm. These people are out and about in our society and are either ignored or harassed, just like the zombies in Breathers. Unfortunately, the whole social commentary idea is left to wither on the vine. The last quarter of the book lapses into a kind of satire on the media that doesn't quite work. Still, an interesting book and I'm glad I read it.
