review 1: How can you tell the vegan in the room? Don't worry, he'll tell you. I was disappointed in this book. Instead of being an entertaining read that may make you think about zombies and your food choices, Agranoff pulls out all the usual "meat is murder" cliches to pound his message home. It started with an entertaining premise about big agriculture bringing about the apocalypse and good narrative about the Portland scene. He sketches a wonderful portrait of Dani, the heroine going through her emo existential angst. But after drawing that sympathetic portrait of Dani, he resorts to childish fantasy where the heroine gets to shoot everyone that ever annoyed her. It made her much shallower than he initially drew her. There are parts that could be really funny, but the preachy ov... moreertones sucked most of the humor out it.
review 2: This is a great read for zombie lovers, bizarro afficianados and the politically-minded alike. The main character is Dani, an editor who has just turned vegan. While she is adjusting to her new lifestyle, the zombie apocalypse hits and only she and her vegan friends seem to immune to zombification. This book is much more political than I expected and I learned quite a bit about veganism and its subcultures. It's also a witty comedy that pokes fun at hardcore zombie fans, classic books rewritten to include zombies and Portland hipsters. Even though the book is hilarious, it carries a strong social message and makes an extremely compelling argument for the vegan lifestyle. After all, when the zombie apocalypse hits, being vegan just might save your life. I highly recommend this fun and intriguing novella. less
