review 1: Dementedly FunnyIn the way that young children frequently are - the young, lost village boy has absolutely no fear of the many residents in the woods near which his home stands. So that when a zombie stumbles into view just after Tobias realizes that he is lost, Tobias treats the zombie the same as any normal person and asks Zachary to take him back to his home.I must say as a parent who taught my children manners - I was greatly tickled over how the zombie and everyone else would pause and comment on how nice it was that a little lost boy would still use "please" to politely ask for what he wanted. Maybe it was just me, but every time it happened it seemed to be funnier than the last time.Possibly my absolute favorite scene in the story was the party in the graveyard. Wha... moret a scream! Too, too funny - but if I give any more of it away, it will be a spoiler.Some slightly unexpected twists as standard stereotypes get set at a different angle than we're used to. More ironic scenes as all the pieces pull together towards the end. I was laughing hysterically by the time I finished the very last scene.Not a story for young children, but just fine for us older "demented children".
review 2: Haha. Okay, well if you've ever wondered how to tell a vampire off, you just simply look at one and say "Bite yourself!!" lol. Overall, this is a story for those who find humor in zombies/vampires. I thought it was pretty funny. I especially liked the whole thing about the selfish girl who was always looking out for her prince and wondering how he would find her since she lived such a poor undignified life (she was a truly ungrateful girl too, thinking her parents didn't treat her good enough), and after her ridiculous reaction to the zombie, she falls off a cliff and goes splat on the rocks...Then at the end of the story, Prince Dashing shows up wishing he could find a simple poor girl to love. Mhmm. There's some deep hidden meaning in that I think. less
