very funny and silly:) and possibly my faorite zombie book ive read bc there isn't really a lot of zombie action (<- i am not a fan of zombies) . it did kinda feel a bit ecofascist at some points though like "humanity is the problem w the world" but also then it would balance out when s.t. waxed poetic about cheetos and hot dogs and whatnot. he was so fun as a narrator.
also i don't get how there weren't kids running around, like 6 year olds who havent had a chance to get addicted to screens or older kids with strict parents who won't let them have a phone or even a tablet...not to mention obviously the animals wouldn't really encounter them considering that this was set in seattle but what about the amish. how did they fare when it was screens and tech that turned other people into zombies? what about old people who can barely figure out their flip phone and are certainly not addicted to smartphones or computers? i am all for screen addiciton being a dangerous plague but like i do not think it would affect everyone so thoroughly.

Really enjoyable voice and vehicle for the story. The premise is truly something I'd never considered with disaster stories. Weirdish premise for what happens to the leftover zombies. Will definitely be picking up the sequel.

Good, earnest, interesting, sweet. "Mofo" started out grating and contrived and went right on through being super, super annoying. Major plot elements were very obvious but do you really need a book like this to be unpredictable? I didn't. I would've taken it, but I was fine without it. I'll read her next, too.

annaplatypus's review against another edition
Not my sense of humor. I felt like the pacing of the book was way thrown off by inappropriately timed jokes and asides, plus a generally repetitive writing style. The whiplash between dumb potty jokes and overwrought emotional ponderings was sometimes jarring or genuinely upsetting.
