Explanation In Pursuance Of Books I, Zombie
***WARNING: NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION*** This book contains foul language and fouler descriptions of life as a zombie. It will offend most anyone, so proceed with caution or not at all. And be forewarned: This is not a zombie book. This is a different sort of tale. It is a story about the unfortunate, about those who did not get away. It is a human story at its rotten heart. It is the reason we can't stop obsessing about these creatures, in whom we see all too much of ourselves.List Books Concering I, Zombie

I've been a fan of Hugh's since Wool 1 was a giveaway, since we demanded he keep writing. We the public who said to Hugh, "don't you dare stop writing or we will find you and make you keep at it." I guess we only have ourselves to blame.I pre -ordered this book, as an Ebook, so I've had it for a few days now. A few days for this book to take on a physical presence in my house. To speak to me, a voice that asks me, "what do I think I'm doing?". I try to answer this voice, "hey man, I really needMr. Howey could market this as a weight-loss miracle: Thanks for the appetite loss, sir! His descriptions are vivid, detailed and grotesque, painted in such a way that makes it impossible for one to self-imagine the text into a less gruesome version, or to stop reading. There is no filter, no idea shielded from the reader as the graphic scenes begin their merciless, shuffling onslaught, page after page, from the very first words to the very last. He cant say he didnt warn us, right there, in the

i'm pretty sure this is the most disgusting book i've ever read! no regrets
My 1/5 rating is purely a personal opinion, tailored for me, in this case more than most. Zombies, apparently, just aren't my thing. I've never read a zombie book (WWZ's been on my queue forever... that I just haven't feel the desire to start in on), but I thought the premise for I, Zombie was brilliant, and I love Hugh's previous work, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Turns out: nope, not for me. I wasn't offended, or grossed out, I just got bored reading about zombies. The inner monologue was
First, the gore is off-putting. It's REALLY gory and graphic. But that's the only reason I took away a star. I can't recommend this to a lot of my friends who would prefer not to wade through the hip-deep viscera in order to get to the story, and that's a shame. Because the story is really good, the writing is excellent, the characters well developed. The premise is intriguing, and kept me reading despite the disgust. I felt empathy with many of the characters, and was riveted - so much so that
She was awash in misery, drowning, stranded, bit at by gleaming fish that carried away her flesh. And the worst part was that she couldnt die.That's only a small sample of the excellent writing to be had in this short novel about that old standby "zombie apocalypse", written from the viewpoint of the zombies themselves. Staggering around, broken and rotten, or only recently turned or about to be turned, the reader is given a huge buffet of thoughts, feelings and musings from the undead.It starts
