About this ebook
“A witty and unexpected take on the zombie genre” in which half-human, half-zombie fights to end the war between the living and the dead (Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels).
Subtitled “A Zombie Memoir,” Brains looks at America’s favorite walking-dead flesh-eaters from an audaciously original and deliciously gruesome new perspective. Debut author Robin Becker blazes new ground with this story of former college professor-cum-sentient zombie Jack Barnes, who recounts the tale of the resistance he organized in the wake of the recent zombie apocalypse. Becker tops the zombie genre with Brains—a witty, tasty treat for anyone who ever spent a midnight glued to a classic zombie epic!
“An unusual take on the zombie genre: part Grapes of Wrath, part postmodern memoir.” —Publishers Weekly
“Becker’s humorous first-person narrative will have readers rooting for the zombie crew, and she keeps the action moving at breakneck pace. Smart, funny, weirdly uplifting, Brains is a most welcome addition to zombie lit. —Booklist

Surprisingly good book with an un thought of concept...what if zombies could think? Well this book gives an example of what it would be like in the eyes of that zombie. Only part i didn't like was the ending, but don't want to spoil it for you. Good read for someone who doesn't like reading.
