This is a unique story and outlook on zombies...We have Jack who was murdered by a family member and comes back to discover, that he is now a zombie...he eats dead people!! He escapes to another city and is working for Lisa the owner of a pizza parlor....Lisa is a simple woman, and she accidentally walks in on Jack eating an arm and shoots his head off! lol Well of course he doesn't die, and she gets really freaked out... but curiosity wins over and she learns Jack's story...and they then fall in love!! There is more to this story than that, a conspiracy theory or 2...and an Evil University with a huge supernatural past that continues to this day...really nice light listen, with fun characters and a great flow..very much well worth your time and a credit!

Fun, short, zombie book!

My rating: 4.5 stars
Audiobook narrator Martin Wurst rating: 4 stars

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I went into this book thinking that it was going to be a funny and cheesy zombie novel with slapstick humor (I am not sure why I thought this but those were my thoughts). I was pleasantly surprised while reading (listening) through this book that not only was there some humor but it was very well written and very intelligent as well.

I thought this book ended up having an interesting plot line that surprised me and I like how it developed. There were some good twists as well as good humor. I thought the audiobook narrator did a good job as well. He changed his voices for different characters, which helped to differentiate.

My only complaint about the book was the transition between ‘scenes’. I am not sure if it was because of how the book was narrated but it wasn’t always clear to me when we went from one story line to a completely different one. I also though there were a lot of characters. I understood who most of them were but it would help me more if some of the characters were re-introduced or at least explained again, who they were.

There was another thing that I wasn’t sure about and it’s kind of bothering me but I think I understood. I may have missed something in the story somewhere. Was the “Winthrop University” in the book supposed to be Harvard in real life? I understand that there are a lot of South Carolina ties and the author’s note at the end states that she went to Winthrop but I felt a little lost in this aspect. (Unless I understood it correctly).

All in all this was a great, short book and I look forward to seeing future books from Nora Fleischer. Thanks for the free audiobook copy!

Very refreshing zombie story

What made the experience of listening to Zombies in Love the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the story, as well as the narration. This was a very refreshing addition to the zombie collection I've collected over the last couple of years. It's a fun, interesting, new, and full of action story that many people would find entertaining.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Jack, the main character. He isn't the "over-the-top" alpha male that's in a lot of zombie books, and seem relate-able in several ways.

Any additional comments?

I received a copy of this title for an honest review.

Every zombie needs somebody sometime

Would you consider the audio edition of Zombies in Love to be better than the print version?

Yes, but simply because the narrator did a great job with the story provided. It had to be entertaining before the audio conversion which it definitely is.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I enjoyed Jake, because he's the poster child for second chances even if this is a different kind of second chance than most people would expect.

Have you listened to any of Martin Wurst’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not, but I would not hesitate to if the opportunity presented itself.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The title of my review, or some variation on it. It's the name of a book of zombie parody love songs my mom got me for christmas a while back.

Any additional comments?

I received the audio version for this book for free in exchange for an honest review. If you're considering this but don't want to read about icky zombie love I would highly suggest you reconsider. It might be an odd situation but it has heart (even if one of them isn't working). I found it very unique from what I normally find myself listening to.

Reminiscent of Warm Bodies, in a good way!

The title sounds pretty funny, and there is a lot of humor in this book, but there is also a really good solid story in there. The characters are all engaging, with complex relationships and struggles dealing with being changed into, well, zombies. They can still think though, so it's not the walking dead in that respect. Lots of zombie humor, with a conspiracy about how the zombies came about, and what to do about them. Really snappy dialogue, with a fast paced plot that never gets bogged down, and will have you laughing throughout. Martin Wurst did an excellent job of narrating, really nailing the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who Liked Warm Bodies, either the book or the movie.

I was given this title by the Author in return for an honest review from Audiobookblast dot com. Ok, legalese taken care of.
