Rating: Summary: Interesting multi-layered tale Review: Almost anything you could say about this slim book's story is going to reveal too much. It unveils Zombie's journey in a fluid and logical way. The reader is left with no doubt as to the reality of Zombie and the people he comes into contact with on his very unusual and educating trip to understanding what makes him a character for all time.
Rating: Summary: Refreshing, dark, and touching Review: Gooch's writing style, alone, makes this a worthy read. I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book, but I found myself compelled to read page after page, chapter after chapter. The narrative is free-flowing and refreshing, and at the same time coherent, which makes it a potent vehicle for this noire tale. I was especially taken by the ending. The level of emotion was extremely high, which reflects Gooch's masterful character development. The horror between the covers lies in the fact that the characters are believable and may very well exist; the myth is in their relationships: so clear and well defined, master and servant, no questions asked. I couldn't think of a better story for a zombie to take part in.
Rating: Summary: Gotta disagree .... Review: I loved his first two novels (and could not be bothered to even read the "boyfriend within" thing). Anyway, I was hoping for a lot more. This is well witten, but just does not seem to go anywhere.
