I loved the support group scenes and had a soft spot for Naomi's cigarette antics! I also liked the step away from the ravenous zombie hordes!<br /><br />www.musingcontinuum.comMs Harkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901608695669018991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-86905484876559024242009-08-24T22:32:15.838-04:002009-08-24T22:32:15.838-04:00WWZ is extremely hard to top, only one thing does....WWZ is extremely hard to top, only one thing does........the WWZ audio book!

I think we're on the same page, in that I also think the book was marketed a bit wrong, and it's actually pretty darn good/unique. It set me up to expect something...that it didn't quite deliver. And that ending...don't wanna spoil it for those planning on reading it. But it was almost like he felt he had to go there, since it was a zombie novel. But it just felt wrong.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-10611425317028965972009-08-24T00:38:10.436-04:002009-08-24T00:38:10.436-04:00While I completely agree that it isn't "b...While I completely agree that it isn't "book of the year" it's not quite that often you can find zombie fiction that is mainly there for humor. S.G. Browne definitely knows how to use social networking to market his book and is quite honestly a genius at it. I just think he should have marketed it more as humor them a great change to zombie fiction. <br /><br />Now don't get me wrong I completely enjoyed it and agree the movie adaptation should be amazing. The ending... didn't feel right. I wouldn't say forced, it was just far darker than the rest of the novel. If he plans on making a series out of this it could end up being played off perfectly but I don't believe his next novel from the brief description he mentioned will have anything to do with the undead.Stuart Conoverhttp://www.civin.orgnoreply@blogger.com
