“We will be the cure. Because we want it.” My favorite part of this book was definitely its prose. This has been called Romeo and Juliet with Zombies and I one hundred percent get why. Marion is undoubtedly a very talented writer. R was sympathetic, and approachable all while being a flesh eating zombie (kudos for pulling off that hard sell) and made even more so by his joining with Perry. I liked Julie, but not near to the extent I did R. She had depth, but it just didn’t all sell for me. This post apocalyptic zombie novel is definitely original in concept and execution, and I was riveted for the first half. The second half, not so much. I started to get lost when I was thrust into Julie’s much less interesting world of the living. What made this novel brilliant was the zombie society being rebuilt and their consciousness. That spark was largely lost for the last half of the novel unfortunately. Definitely a must read for fans of the genre, though I can’t say I am clamoring to read the sequel.

This is an amazing start to my favorite series from my absolute favorite author! Is is a must-read.

I loved it, needs a second book!

This is my absolute favorite book hands down! I actually felt like I was in R's world and perspective. Or like I was a watching a movie which I have seen the movie for this book which is really amazing but I feel that the novel is better! Isaac is such a good author and I just love his books!

Isaac Marion's style of macabre mixed with just the right amount of humor is extremely entertaining. The prose, the dialogue, everything about this book is perfect. I instantly fell in love with the tragic main character, as I watch him struggle to articulate his unique thoughts. I'm willing to soak up anything this author writes in the future.

Now this was entertainment!! Humorous, romantic, a bit eerie , but a very good read. Thank you!!!

I'd like to start this by saying, I saw the movie before I read the book, so this review very quickly deteriorated into a criticism of the movie. But I will say that both are enjoyable, and both are worth checking out. That being said, this was a fun and easy read, especially if you're a fan of the horror genre. The ending was WAY more satisfying, the characters were much more fleshed out (lol), and the boneys actually fit in with the plot. If you enjoyed the movie, READ THIS. Overall, it was an interesting take on the zombie lore. My only gripe is that if we were able to read about Perry's sexual encounters with Julie, why couldn't we read about R getting a little action??

Very good book if your into romantic fairytales

Not a zombie book or move person but this was a good one
