I love, love, love this book! I have quite the zombie thing, and have read many a great zombie story at this point, and this is one of my all time favorites. It is not at all what you would expect. It is deeply moving, romantic, philosophical, and bursting the the seems with the love of life and hope. I feel inspired. It's one of those books that makes you want to change the world, and yes, it is about zombies.
The characters are well fleshed out (okay I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist). The writing is flawless. It pulled me through the story so wonderfully. It's a really different and interesting take on the whole zombie mythos.
The Romeo and Juliet parallels were fantastic also. I love how they took the familiar idea and subverted it.
I would say, even if you don't traditionally like zombies or horror, if you do like incredibly thought provoking reads, check this one out.
I can also say the audiobook for this one was incredible.
