review 1: Walter introduces a clever premise here, mashing up zombies with a dystopian future. The haves and have-nots are divided into regular people and soul-sapped quasi-zombies who are exploited in low-wage jobs and once in a while eat cats. The premise is ripe to satirize pretty much everything about modern society, but as soon as the premise is introduced, the story -- being a 99-cent Kindle Single -- ends.I would love to see this world explored more (not that there's a paucity of zombie lit out there), and am a little disappointed its length. It doesn't seem to work as well as a short story as it does the first chapter of a book. But it's a fun, quick read.
review 2: There has been a spate lately of very good zombie books and this is one of them, albeit a shor... moret one. What makes it so good? Simply put, a nice little twist which turns it from a horror book into something a little deeper, something which asks questions about what it is to be alive and what it is to feel, or more specifically, what it means to opt out of feeling.A quick read, well worth it. And cheap too... less
