Yup, you read the genres correctly... a Zombie romance. Isaac Marion has
crafted a tale that allows the reader to view the inner thinkings of zombies. R
may be dead, and unable to speak multi-syllabic words, but his mind creates
vivid pictures and has quite the vocabulary. After eating the brains of a
soldier, R gains the soldier's memories and protects his girlfriend, Julie. R
develops ways to keep Julie safe and camouflaged from the zombies that he lives
with. We are able to see how R interacts with other zombies and the things
worse than zombies called bonies. Marion draws us into a rather unconventional
love story between two different types of humans, living and non-living.
I am not normally a zombie fan, but this book was well written and developed
and worth the time to read it!
