Tales of the Un-Dead...Special 3 book edition

Adventures of Jerrix the Cat. Volume 3

---

He is a zombie, but he can remember some events, feelings, and memories. He can even remember what sarcasm is and on more than one occasion uses it. Peter sets out to find people not to eat them, though. He learns he has a girlfriend who he really cares about, and decidesf to find her. At this point Peter is still passing as a human, albeit a sick-looking one.

He has not had any of the delicious zombie staple, brains. Gradually, the human that Peter was before and the zombie that he is now, meld. Peter is able to justify the eating of human brains because zombies are higher on the food chain. He gathers his own gang of zombies and they travel throughout the countryside, feasting on any humans that cross their path. This makes him happy for a while, or at least as happy as a zombie can get.

This book is in turns funny and profound. It definitely left me with unexpected thoughts and feelings. It left me with ideas and concepts that I mulled over days after I finished the book. I would highly recommend it for library collections. Strong language, gory violence. I have a huge affinity for zombie books, coming across this some years ago.

A very unique turn of the genre at the time, humorous and fun, it was a book that I read all in one sitting. If you love the apocalypse and zombie scenarios, I highly recommend this one of a kind story. Feb 07, Susu rated it liked it. Maybe I am being unreasonable in my star rating and review of this book, but I am female and prone to illogical leaps of fancy.

I really did enjoy this book and will read the rest of this series.

I am a huge fan of noir and very picky on my zombie books. Being promised noir in a zombie book was one of the biggest reasons I picked up this series to read.

Zombie, Ohio

Sadly a search from cover to cover and between the lines failed to produce one inkling of noir. For me any movie, book, story, etc. If the beginning is intriguing or action packed it will suck me in and make me stay even if the story slows in the middle. The end though is just as important it has to wrap everything up for me in a nice red bow. I don't mind cliffhangers as long as I know there's more in the series. This is your story to tell as the author not mine. Don't imply what happens. I feel like I know what happens but again its not my story.

Tales of the Undead

I didn't buy the book so that I could fill in the blanks. Big pet peeve of mine. Sorry for ranting, but I usually don't rate books low when I do I feel I need to explain myself. Those that know me know I'm pretty easy going on books. If I'm entertained, it did its job, 5 stars. If I have expectations about a book and get let down I can be pretty harsh.

Frequently bought together

Peter also has a love interest so girls in particular would probably enjoy that aspect of the book. Overall Peter is a very humorous character always making stupid puns so if you like your characters to have a sense of humor this would appeal to you as well. I'm not usually into zombie media, or horror in general. Thankfully, this book wasn't scary.

The plot line was interesting and I was curious to see a zombie apocalypse from the perspective of a zombie. But, I was sadly disappointed in this book. Despite the plot, the clunky and awkward dialogue made this a long, boring book to read. Kenemore used traditional zombie lore to create his world; this would have been fine if he didn't insist on reiterating all the "rules" about zombies: Your have to d I'm not usually into zombie media, or horror in general.

Upcoming Events

Your have to destroy the brain, zombies walk slowly, zombies are stupid, etc. Peter's inner monologue was suppose to explain why Peter made the decision to work with his kind instead of the living, but it didn't really explain anything. It just made him unlikable and irritating. None of the characters were likable and you really don't care whether they live or die.

I did listen to the audiobook version of this and found it interesting that the reader sounds like Casey Kasem. The only other thing of note about the audio version is hearing the read say "gobble gobble". An interesting take on the zombie apocalypse, but it didn't quite meet expectations. It took a while to gain any steam, honestly.

Zombie - Wikipedia

Like every other review, the idea of a first person zombie narrative that is, from the zombie is so great, but I think part of my problem was that this particular voice annoyed me? It seemed overly try-hard to be edgy and funny and just sort of came off as a weirdly misdirected attempt at YA lit. The narrator, Peter, didn't seem to be to be at all reliable as a middle aged professor.

Like, I get the amnesia thing, but I don't know that I'm sold on the thought that your casual vernacular drops 20 years when you lose some memories. Other than that, the story had enough pull to make me finish reading it, and there were a few points closer to the middle or just fresh of the other side of it that that had me grinning like the cheshire cat. After the good faith instilled via that meaty section in the middle, I wound up feeling a bit betrayed by a lackluster ending.

Basically not terrible, but not great. I don't know that I'd recommend this to anyone unless confronted with a request for a first person narrative by a zombie , but I wouldn't necessarily warn against it either. Mar 26, MommyDearest rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: People who love zombies and humor. If you are a fan of zombies and humor read Zombie, Ohio! She gave another zombie book a good rating.

Many laughs were had and several times I cornered family members and read them my favorite excerpts from the book. I loved Pete's interaction with the turkey. I love that he didn't eat kids and I loved that Vanessa still cared for him in his decomposing state.

I also love that he redeemed himself in the end. Plus I've already reread the book. Feb 10, Tommie rated it it was ok. Honestly, I'm not sure what I think of this book. The premise is fantastic - I love the idea of a zombie book told in first-person POV by a zombie. I didn't really connect with any of the characters, including Peter, but I think that might have been the author's intention, given that a zombie wouldn't have the emotional connections that a live human would.

There were humorous sections within the book and there were sections that dragged on. Even though it was a fairly short book, it took me seve Honestly, I'm not sure what I think of this book. Even though it was a fairly short book, it took me several days to finish it. Part of that was because it was so dry and part was because the pages were "filled to the brim" - the margins were insanely small.

I will say that I loved the ending. The twist ending with regard to the murder was great; I did not see it coming. And the last page left me wondering. While I wouldn't read this book again, I was glad I read it. Jul 21, Janene rated it really liked it Shelves: Everyone knows that real zombies move slow, don't think, and they certainly don't talk or have a sense of humor or a conscience. If you have an expectation that all zombies should be that way all of the time, you best not read this book.

Don't let my laughter throw you off, as there are plenty moments of gore along with the laughs and I found myself missing this book after I'd passed it on.

While not nearly as good as Raising Stony Mayhall , I liked it a lot and highly recommend IF you can look outside the box and accept that sometimes zombies can be different too. May 15, Rowan faal Kodaav rated it liked it. I really like the story of this book, but the author's style of writing and the plot of this book left me disappointed. For starters, I don't like that this is written in first person. I like that it is from the point a view of a zombie because that is interesting and different, but the execution of this idea was not satisfying for me.

Another thing that really irritated me about this book was there was so much blathering to get a point across.

Aug 12, Amanda Osborne rated it it was amazing.

I read the last in the trilogy first; Zombie, Indiana and enjoyed it so much I had to pick up the other two. This was a hilarious and sometimes horrifying read and what I think I enjoyed most is no matter if Peter, the main character and zombie was trying to recapture his lost humanity or just enjoying tearing someone's skull open, he never lost the wit and humor that characterized this entire novel. A very enjoyable read and not so gory that non-horror fans wouldn't enjoy it. I'm excited to read Zombie, Illinois but I'll really miss Peter.

Apr 14, Dave rated it really liked it Shelves: As with most good zombie stories, the zombies in Zombie, Ohio are really just an exciting backdrop for familiar human conflicts. This novel encompasses love story, murder mystery and comic relief rolled into one. The premise of the book, that the protagonist is himself a zombie, is fairly unique and it is executed well throughout.
