writh reviewed My Life As A White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland

Diana Rowland: My Life As A White Trash Zombie (2011, Daw Books)

Review of 'My Life As A White Trash Zombie' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A thoroughly original zombie story. This book is a lot of fun. It has great humor, a protagonist that makes a really satisfying personal journey, and some great characters. It is well-written, and well researched (there is quite a bit of morgue detail that, according to what I know, is pretty accurate). I would highly recommend this book to fans of the TV show iZombie, and people who enjoy a good zombie story.

Review of 'Neuromancer' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

The best cyberpunk novel there is, bar none. I read it for the first time, years ago, and the urging of one of my college professors. He was so right. I have come back to it several times over the years. I read it again this month, and I loved it just as much as I did the first time. I have a real obsession with classic sci-fi, and for me this book is right up there with Philip K. Dick.
