Well! This was something! A coming of age story of a 39 year old Zombie! 
 This was my first Zombie book, so I'm not sure how the others are, but this took the Zombie's side, and showed us their point of view. 
 In Breathers, our main character, Andy, has just recently reanimated (Come back to life after dying as a Zombie)and he tells the story of how Zombies are treated even worse than cockroaches, I felt so bad for him, I actually felt for the Zombies, and got annoyed at the Breathers (Humans). 
 We follow Andy on his self realization journey from sad Zombie lying in his parents basement getting by day to day, to a Zombie who can stand on his own and who is fighting for his civil rights. 
 This story was odd as it sent a very clear message using an extremely weird story line! As Andy tries harder and harder to fit in with the Humans and go back to his old life, he finally realizes that what is past is past, and that it is time to move on and embrace his zombie-ism. The cannibalism in the story did not even bother me, as this is the Zombie's story, in Breathers, the humans are the bad guys! 
 So! The point is, don't try to be something you're not. If you're a flesh eating Zombie, then so be it! Be a flesh eating Zombie and be proud! There's no point in attempting to fit in with others who are clearly unlike you and who shun you, screw them, there's no right or wrong, do what makes you happy and what feels right for you.
