 Mildly disappointing November 7, 2008

I am a fan of most things zombie, and also like haiku, but for me this just didn't work. It has some good moments but ultimately the little nagging voice in my head kept on asking 'why is a zombie recording it's day to day activities?' or thinking, 'wow, that zombie retained a fairly good grasp of English'. It just required too much of a stretch of the imagination to believe that a zombie wrote of it's maruadings in a journal so that they could be recovered by one of it's would-be victims. That said it's all in good zombie fun and has some truly funny moments, as well as some pretty good snapshots of zombie life. It's a good stab at breaking new ground in the zombie tradition (or should that be a headshot?...)

It never occurred to me to look for a zombie story in something other than novel form; this book was on display by a register when I purchasing some other books. I figured since The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead(guide form, obviously) and Day by Day Armageddon (A Zombie Novel)(journal form) worked for me, I would give zombie haikus a chance.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the haikus formed an actual story, instead of just being random haikus. Another bonus was the size of the book makes it easy to carry with me in my purse (gotta have zombie literature on me at all times).
(I haven't seen anything this original since my husband's monster truck haikus.) I was very impressed with the author's creativity. I look forward to more from this author.
