Not a big fan of the vampire/zombie/werwolf etc. genre but then there is always the exception.
Take the existential zombie (or living dead)philosopher Stony Mayhall and you have a winner. Laugh out loud funny while examining the deeper layers of prejudice.
Excellent book.
Je ne suis habituellement pas fan des histoires de zombies, mais ce roman m'a bien plu. Peut-être parce qu'il nous fait suivre la non-vie de Stony, un zombie pas comme les autres, découvert bébé dans les bras de sa mère morte et qui a la particularité de grandir et de devenir adulte. Le récit m'a bien plu.
I don't know how I felt about this. There wasn't really anything that I actively disliked, but there also wasn't much that drew me in and made me care about what was happening. I did like the take on the mind/body problem (although by the end it was taken to a rather absurd extreme) and I appreciated the complexity of the world that was created with this unique take on an old troupe. But I finished this about ten minutes ago, and I've already forgotten and stopped caring about almost everything that happened.
