Auszeichnungen
For fans for "Warm Bodies" and "Zombieland." For readers of A. Lee Martinez and Christopher Moore. A new literary adventure about love and survival in San Francisco that has been called, "hilarious, action-packed, and original." Trek along with Cathren and Donovan as they fight to evade zombies, paranoid survivalists, and a meglomaniacal CEO (Dr. Burkhart Egesa) and his blood-thirsty henchmen. Chemicals leaked into the aquifer from the Egesa's cryogenic corporation, ATELIC, cause a horrible zombie epidemic in the Bay area. Meanwhile, ATELIC staff successfully reanimate a frozen dead head. (Cryogenics, by the way, is the freezing of a body just after death, with the hope of bringing the person back to life via some as-yet-undiscovered technology in the future. End of scientific aside.) Unfortunately, the head is a bit pissed off being brought back from its peaceful slumber. It has the disposition of a rabid dog caught in barbed wire. The fearsome head bites Cathren and (in combination with her unique DNA), causes her to morph into a powerful half-zombie, immune to zombie infection. Egesa, the diabolical but well-intentioned fiend, has decided the only way to end the zombie breakout is to dissect Cathren-alive And thus, he can achieve his life-long dream of winning the Nobel Prize for Peace. Can the forces of evil be stopped? Can love conquer the undead? Will Cathren and Donovan find freedom, safety, and true love?

First of all, I want to say that I absolutely love the cover art. Rob Sacchetto is a very creative artist and he captured the floating heads, zombies, Cathren & Donavan perfectly.
When I first started reading this book, I was loving it. I thought the story was creative and unique. I enjoyed how the story was going back and forth between Donavan's viewpoint and the news reporter, Zoe Krant's, interviews and updates on ATELIC Industries. The story unfolded in a very comical way and the writing was witty and engaging. One of my favorites lines is, "The place reeked of death and rot and all things unnatural. Which reminded him: they had hot dogs.(page 128)"
The story overall was good, loose ends were tied up, and things mentioned in the beginning reappeared at the end; but the story fell short for me. It seemed like Cathren and Donavan would run, she would get lost, he would run, and she would be found, they would get captured, they get away... then repeat process. I would have liked to know more about these two main characters. This book was filled with a lot of zombie action and Plumer's writing style added to the effect. I wasn't fond of the overuse of the F-word throughout. Not necessary. Perhaps would have made a good book for young adults. (
