Summary

My name is Bobby Lunger. 

Well it used to be when I was a living person. Now I’m a card-carrying member of the Undead. Can you imagine what it would be like if you became a zombie? I know it’s one of those burning questions that everyone secretly thinks about.

In my case, I’m trapped in this old husk of a body, doing the bidding of the hunger, like an unwilling host to the horrors I must inflict on humanity to survive. Being one of the undead comes with pain. The pain of my decaying body and the hunger doesn’t make the pain less bearable. I want to return to the peace of the grave, so I can free myself from this terrible undead life but the hunger won’t allow it. There’s only one solution to my pain-riddled existence: Brains! 

It quiets the hunger and restores my body to a more agile and stronger zombie. The more I eat, the better I get. I have no control over the hunger when it decides to make me feed. What a way to unlive?

“I can’t help it that I’m a zombie, but that doesn’t make me a monster, does it?”

A cool zombie story from the perspective of the zombie.
Is it silly? Yes!
Is it ridiculous? Yes!
But most importantly, is it good? Yes!
A really enjoyable, farcical story with good narration!
Definitely worth giving it a try and I’d definitely read more from this pairing!

Really enjoyable listen and great story so unique

This was so much fun - zombies, aliens (spoilers), true love and signing. You couldn't ask for more in a zombie book. Really didn't take itself seriously and was so much fun. The narration really suited it. Just loved it.

delightful

A zombie apocalypse through the eyes of a somewhat aware zombie - it is always a winner theme.
A lot like Warm bodies minus the romance, it explores a different route for our decaying friend Bobby, with previously unseen consequences to human stupidity. It is funny and crazy, a wonderful gruesome romp across the foul undead landscape.
Delightful.
And the audiobook is also well read.

A time killer with little to offer

So this is a one trick pony with the author literally flogging a dead horse. But is it bad? No. It's mediocre and blessedly short. If Griffith had tried to bulk it out even further than the 3 hour 40 minute runtime it would have been painful to endure. Instead it makes for an afternoon's distraction without requiring the listener to concentrate too hard. If you're a zombie fan then you may find it mildly amusing but if you want to laugh out loud I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Wetherbee's narration is reasonable given the material he had to work with but I feel that if he'd read it as if it was for children's story time it may have come across better.
