Wow. Uhm. Hmm. 
 So, the first half of this book was amazing. Like literally tearing out my hair, throwing the book across the room because the prose is killing me this is amazing kind of deal. Like, oh my god. Sentient zombies. With surprisingly provocative and deep thoughts. Missing the world, but not really knowing what to miss. And just doing thing because that's how it's done. Feeding, etc. I just could not deal with the awesome. 
 And then, after about the half way point, we sort of lose its momentum. Or rather, the gears change in a very profound way. And it's not that I didn't appreciate the asking of the big, difficult questions... but it just wasn't what I was expecting from the first 100 or so pages. 
 I mean, the sentiment is really something I can appreciate. The whole rising up and being the change and regaining your sense of humanity and self. I get it. I do. It's just. Not what I thought this book was going to end up being about. (view spoiler)[Because apparently, my suspension of disbelief holds for sentient zombies, but not for bringing zombies back to life through the power of love? Idk. (hide spoiler)] 
 Anyways. A good read nonetheless. Still slightly disappointed that my rating slid down from a solid 4-4.5 stars to 3, but there you have it.
