review 1: I was intrigued by the cover while looking through indigo.ca's bargain section, read the blurb and really liked the idea. My boyfriend went to get me birthday gifts and this was an early one I got :D This book is so different. I really loved all the short stories but the zombie ones were my favourite :) I like a lot of the absurd things that happen, that seem almost like they could happen with how he writes them.
review 2: I picked up this book at Polaris, and have to say I was pleasantly surprised by some of the stories in this book. I particularly enjoyed his take on zombies facing off against a Lovecraftian horror. That having been said I was saddened by how distinctly underwhelmed I felt upon finishing it.I can't help but wonder if perhaps something was los... moret in translation from Lalumiere's native french?I can only describe the book as a whole thus:It feels like watching an entire season of "The Outer Limits", but you've missed the first and last ten minutes of each episode and the entire thing has been translated to french and back, so you may or may not actually be hearing the proper dialogue.The author has some very wonderful ideas, and some very lovely concepts but it feels like there's so much missing that there's just no point. less
