Don't Call Me Zombie edition by Jordan Krumbine Literature Fiction eBooks
Zaphod is a zombie, but he isn't much of one. He has retained all his intelligence and he doesn't have a desire to eat people (though he does really enjoy meat). The only thing that really makes him different is the fact that he's a corpse. He fails to grasp the obvious reasons why some people want to avoid him and big sections of the books are devoted to rants about how people discriminate against the "living impaired" (one of these rants at the beginning of the book has him dropping a well-known slur used against black people in front of an audience that includes a black man, a somewhat off-putting way to begin a book).Other than being dead, Zaphod has the same problems as any underachieving man (earning a living, getting his musical career started, finding a place to live after his dad kicks him out). The enjoyment one will get from this book depends entirely on how successful you find Krumbine's comedic voice to be. I found it rather tedious, so I didn't enjoy it much. Zaphod's musings on the nature of life pop up too often and too many of the laughs are overly familiar.

Don't Call Me Zombie edition by Jordan Krumbine Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
So this story is an entertaining read. The characters are likeable enough. The plot and storytelling are okay but not spectacular. This is far more on the level of teenagers but some of the content might be a bit too forward (sexual) in nature for those. If you want a reasonably lite read this will work, but don't expect a strongly developed piece.
Let me preface by saying I am not a reader, however I read this book over a series of my lunch hours at work and didn't want my lunch hour to end!
The book was captivating and incredibly original. The best part was the shock factor for me....I was already shocked by page two. It was nice that there were many plot twist and turns and they were all unexpected and surprising. The author really makes it easy to feel empathy for the main character and also makes all the other characters likeable, which I find important when bonding with a storyline.
The narrative between the characters is extremely witty and entertaining. The zombie jokes peppered throughout are all well played and amusing. The choice of words were fresh and interesting because it opened my mind....I had to Google "snarky" - it turned out to mean what I thought it meant - but fun words like snarky are lacking in today's fiction.
The message at the end - just like the rest of the story - was refreshingly unexpected. As I finished this novel on a particularly blue day for me, the message was an unexpected blessing. Check out the book...it will keep you guessing, entertained and as an added bonus...it will expand your vocabulary.
That was great, i had gotten it when it was free and put it onto my phone, i had the chance to start it the other night when i had some down time.
once starting it i didnt want to put it down.but with my phone being so small. it made it difficult to read
( vision impaired old guy )once the thoughts from this book had been planted in my mind i had to finish it. to make a long story short i purchased to my PC. I read last night till 4 am instead of Farming ( im a farmville addict ) ! I havnt read like thaT SINCE I WAS IN jAIL.I aLmost cried a few times and i literaly laughed out loud. this book really got me to thinking about life/loss/love..... loved it
With the book Zaphod the Zombie, Jordan Krumbine establishes himself among the likes of Saul Below and Chaim Potok. Okay. Maybe not.
Nonetheless, engaging post-modern deconstructionist thought and critical race theory, Krumbine offers a distinct look into the life of Zaphod Zombie, the undead protagonist. Sound ridiculous? Maybe you are one of those who are inclined toward discriminating against the undead. This book offers a window into a world where zombies are loved for the people they are...well, were. Are? It's so difficult to know! Krumbine leaves us guessing at the true mortality status of Zaphod. At times Zaphod is the most lively character in the story.
Krumbine uses the character Zaphod to explore the nihilistic philosophical proclivities of our age. Is Zaphod the mythical undead or just your average guy struggling to find meaning in a world devoid of opportunities to find meaningful existence. He works at a fast food, plays in a terrible punk band, is tempted into the pornography industry by an aspiring porn mogul, befriends a You Tube vlogger (the aforementioned aspiring porn mogul), and eventually finds himself working in a corporate cubicle where he finds love...or at least a good shag.
Right. So this all sounds insane and there's no possible way that this review isn't just some other joke. I get that. Do yourself a favor. Read the book, enjoy your Halloween, and, when you are done, let me know if Zaphod isn't exactly the kind of hero we need right now.
The best of us are the re-animated.
I thought it was a hilarious book. I didn't have the highest hopes for it as it was a free download, but I spend a good amount of time cracking up over the character and the things that came out of their mouths.
It's not a terribly deep book, but if you are looking for a book to read at the pool/beach/park/lunchbreak this is not a bad choice at all.
I don't read many zombie novels, but I thought I'd take a chance on this one because it seemed like it might be fun to read. And parts of it was.
The author does a good job of telling the story. He's a good enough writer, but some of the weaknesses in his style just didn't keep me in all the way. The narrator seems a bit too "into himself," which I found off-putting in some of the chapters. Specifically, he goes into his head too often and you witness him waxing philosophical about the nature of the undead. Not exactly good storytelling, though the actual writing wasn't bad.
The characterization was OK and the conflict was definitely there, though some parts of it could have been played up a little better. Some elements of the story, I thought, were very creative. Others, not so much.
If there had been more action and less philosophizing, I'd have probably liked it better. Or it could have been a generational gap. You be the judge.
Zaphod is a zombie, but he isn't much of one. He has retained all his intelligence and he doesn't have a desire to eat people (though he does really enjoy meat). The only thing that really makes him different is the fact that he's a corpse. He fails to grasp the obvious reasons why some people want to avoid him and big sections of the books are devoted to rants about how people discriminate against the "living impaired" (one of these rants at the beginning of the book has him dropping a well-known slur used against black people in front of an audience that includes a black man, a somewhat off-putting way to begin a book).
Other than being dead, Zaphod has the same problems as any underachieving man (earning a living, getting his musical career started, finding a place to live after his dad kicks him out). The enjoyment one will get from this book depends entirely on how successful you find Krumbine's comedic voice to be. I found it rather tedious, so I didn't enjoy it much. Zaphod's musings on the nature of life pop up too often and too many of the laughs are overly familiar.
