A review by mmmsnacks
Elegy for the Undead by Matthew Vesely

2.0

This book was only okay and I wouldn't really recommend it. It had one of my biggest pet peeves: I hate when books try to be relatable by inserting real world cultural references with not purpose. A ridiculously fast acting zombie virus exists in this world and so do troy sivan concerts, kingdom hearts, IKEA and the song "weathered" by Jack Garratt. Something about that bothers me to no end.

Beside that - I didn't love the characters, didnt love the structure nor the writing.  Allegories for the aids crisis are important stories, this one (if it was) just wasn't that good. It felt like it was trying too hard all around.
