Book Overview
In his new novel, John Ajvide Lindqvist does for zombies what his previous novel, "Let the Right One In, "did for vampires. Across Stockholm the power grid has gone crazy. In the morgue and in cemeteries, the recently deceased are waking up. One grandfather is alight with hope that his grandson will be returned, but one husband is aghast at what his adored wife has become. A horror novel that transcends its genre by showing what the return of the dead might really mean to those who loved them.

A slow read that doesn't go anywhere...
Published by Eager reader-one , 10 months ago
This book is more drama than horror...
I had high hopes for this book as the concept of how society would handle non-zombie undead was interesting. The book started out okay, though the characters seemed uninspired. There was a buildup then halfway through it sizzled and didn't recover.
If the dead came back to life you would expect panic, uncertainty and some level of irrational behavior. There would also be people thinking of how best to address the situation and create measures for public safety. Such an astounding phenomenon was treated with minor concern by a handful of the population.
This book had the main characters operating solely on reckless emotion. No critical thinking at all. The characters were bland and only thought of themselves. Their actions made me wish the 'unliving' were true, face-eating zombies.
I would recommend to someone looking for a slow read with a touch of drama.
