- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book - I loved that the author took on a new perspective in the zombie genre - that of an intelligent zombie. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. The story moved along quite well and still developed the main character well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Probably more of a 3.5, but as I grew up in Ohio, and lived there as an adult for 12 years, I'm rounding up.
Zombie horror from the point of a zombie - the only sentient zombie in the book. Though he does encounter another zombie who seems to have a bit of intelligence and awareness. It makes fun of various zombie tropes and is a fun, quick read. If you are into zombie horror you should give this a try. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Zombie, Ohio is the first book in the three book (so far) zombie series by Scott Kenemore. It's not a series in the sense of having characters that go through adventures in each book; rather, these are books all set in a zombie world with completely different characters and stories in each book. Consequently, you do not have to read these books in any specific order. The main character, Peter, is not very lovable - in his zombie aspect or what we learn of his human existence. It's obvious he's not meant to be. This makes it all the more believable that someone tried to murder him. The story bogged down in the middle for me as Peter marched around with his zombie friends. Peter was in college professor-zombie mode and analyzing everything. I would have preferred more action and less thinking. I have to say, this is quite a unique novel. An "aware" zombie who holds conversations, but eats brains. He wanders with other zombies and tries so solve his own murder. Strange much? The dark humor is a refreshing change from other zombie books and worth the read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thoroughly enjoyed this quirky journey through the mind and experiences of a zombie. If I have any complaint, it's that the explanation of what the book is about doesn't seem quite accurate. The murder mystery always seems to take a back seat to everything else, particularly to the main character's romantic attachment.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5What a weird, funny book. Danny Campbell is the narrator, and he was splendid at being a zombie. The novel itself is an easy, light read, from the zombie's point of view. There was not much of a mystery in it, like the blurbs say. The black turkey was my favorite character of all, for all his eccentricities. All in all, a good novel. 3 stars.
