review 1: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Undead (Don Borchert)*This was an adventure book with a bit of a twist. It had the classic feel of the original Tom Sawyer stories with the twist being zombies, or as called in this book the "Zum". It took a bit adjusting as I was reading, I found myself enthralled in an adventure with Tom, Huck and friends then the Zum would enter. I did get used to it, and liked the book.A fun book to read if you are into zombies, if you are into the classic Tom Sawyer stories you may be disappointed. I did find this interesting and fun. Typical Tom Sawyer stories added with zombies that Tom and Huck had to hunt and kill. Also the thrill of not knowing who was human and who was Zum. A nice ending to a whimsical read.*I won this on Good Reads Give-A... more-Ways
review 2: The book did a pretty good job of sticking to the original story. But, I am not impressed with the Zum addition. First you don't see one until you are about three for ths of the way through the book, then it is really hard to relate to injun Joe as s Zum. I think the classic should be left alone and zombie books written for and about zombies.I received this Advance Reading Copy from Goodreads giveaways. less

It was a perfect day without clouds, adult supervision, or the undead.
