I think I know what the author was trying to do, but I think it fell short. It wasn't that it was bad, it was just that it wasn't good. The book was written from the perspective of a zombie male in their early 30's, but seemed to be more like what a 16 year old thinks a 30 year old acts and thinks like. The main character has the mentality of a rebellious teenager, which might be partially intended, but I don't think it was...
I also had a very hard time with the equating "Zombie" civil rights with that of marginalized groups in America. And the not-so-subtle anti-Trans statements put me over the edge.
The mechanics of the book were good, the characters did develop and each had their own personality... But, the world was unrealistic and juvenile.
