It was fun if not taken very seriously. I thought it was a fun twist on the original story. I found it an enjoyable and fast read if you want something that is just fun. ( )

For the most part, the zombie menace known as the Zum is carefully placed in the background. Characters are aware of and talk about the threat and it affects the way they lead their lives, but their interaction with the Zum is fairly minimal until quite close to the end of the story. I do not fault this however, as the slow buildup made this mashup book far more believable.

The author did a very good job of seamlessly adding new material to the story. I dont think Twain is spinning in his grave nearly as fast as some of the other authors who have had thier works "monsterized". (Im lacking a term to describe this new phenominon of adding paranormal critters to classic literature!) ( )
