She's selfish, manipulative, and the casual heartlessness in how she treats her slave--unintentional though her cruelty might be--left me feeling queasy. I suppose a reader less sensitive to such subject matter than myself would find this way more enjoyable. Like I said, the writing's great, I just didn't like the story.

Interesting to see things from the zombie's perspective, and hilarious that said zombie was a chef in life and very discerning about what parts of the living he ate. Zombie rampage scenes were well written. I was on edge wondering who the heck to root for. The humans or the undead? Add to that a love story between the main zombie character and the main human character, and this winds up being an interesting and fun read.
