Brains for Lunch: A Zombie Novel in Haiku?! by K.A. Holt

2.0

A zombie novel in haiku! What could be wrong with that? Plenty. A haiku should be a succinct expression of an idea. Here, it was basically one "haiku" after another, and the parts of each may or may not have fit together. There are cultural references today's teens may not get (a "Back to the Future" reference, for one, in which a character is knocked on the head with a, "What's up, McFly?"). The story really could have played up the zombie factor, but didn't do that, either, other than to have assorted body parts fall off or get pulled off. The illustrations are humorous but not terrible zombie-like: definitely not scary.

So what is left is an attempt to merge poetry with a teen-interest topic, and it ends up just being lame. At least it's a short book.
