Narration Supposing Books Brains: A Zombie Memoir

College-professor-cum-zombie Jack Barnes is a different breed of undead—he can think. In fact, he can even write. And the story he has to tell is a truly disturbing—yet strangely heartwarming—one.

Convinced he'll bring about a peaceful coexistence between zombies and humans if he can demonstrate his unique condition to Howard Stein, the man responsible for the zombie virus, Barnes sets off on a grueling cross-country journey to meet his maker. Along the way he recruits a small army of "super" zombies that will stop at nothing to reach their goal. There's Guts, the dreadlocked boy who can run like the wind; Joan, the matronly nurse adept at reattaching decaying appendages; Annie, the young girl with a fierce quick-draw; and Ros, who can actually speak. United they embark on an epic quest to attain what all men, women—and, apparently, zombies—yearn for: equality.

Brains is a blood-soaked, darkly humorous story that will have readers rooting for Barnes and his zombie posse to the very end.

Sometimes having a good idea just isnt enough. This might hurt, but its the truth. For whatever reason, sometimes writers have amazing ideas that dont pan out. And when those ideas stall mid-story, they take the entire book down with them.In Brains: A Zombie Memoir, Jack Barnes is an English professor who gets bitten during the zombie apocalypse. After transforming, he discovers that he can still think and still feels like himselfaside from a craving for brains and human flesh. Also, he can

I went to Borders this weekend and decided that to celebrate it being exam week I would pick up a little book to give a go because honestly, as of late I've read almost nothing for fun. The book I chose was a trendy little tome known as Brains: A Zombie Memoir by Robin Becker (who is yes, a female though I can't see the writing style as anything but male. I'll have to ponder why that is later). As of late in the literary world it's been popular to write monster influenced satire. It seems like

Meh. I thought that this would be fun and somewhat funny, but really it was just a bunch of asshole shit done by an asshole with a god complex who thinks that because he's now undead, he's something even more special than he was when he was alive. I made a bunch of notes on my kindle as I read this, but as I skimmed the last quarter, now I'm just glad that it's over and I'm not going back in to look at my notes. I don't really care enough. The writing was OK, but it was choppy at times, and

I don't really know what I was expecting when I picked up this book. I read the prologue, thought it sounded kind of fun, I was looking for a little diversion from the "serious" stuff I've been reading. I got the diversion, but I absolutely hated this book. I hated the vulgarity, hated the characters, hated the storyline (and the dog-eating), hate hate hate. I didn't expect to have such a strong reaction, but I completely loathed it. So much so that it became only the third book (the first two

Zombies and that culture of things as taking over mankind that will run over everything in their chosen paths is worth every penny. My best guess is reading this novel of survival. Jack Barnes aka Captain is sophisticated, a zombie and who takes great pains in his pleasure of eating brains. Likewise in all zombie stories Barnes was first an unsuspecting victim in the virus holocaust of the living dead. Barnes parallels for us an unexpected tale with plentiful insight of what life is like after

i was all amped up and ready to be in love with this novel because of the subject matter, but there were so many things that kept me from liking it.first and foremost, i think this author fancies herself a little palahniuk, because the narrator's voice is so reminiscent of his characters. if you love palahniuk, then you'll find this awesome. if you don't? then you totally won't. after about 4 pages, i was already annoyed with the main character. sometimes it was funny, sure. but so much of the

While refreshing and an original idea, there are two things that I really can't get past.1. There were so many pop culture references just for the sake of doing it that it actually became cringe-worthy. Very few of them had anything to do with what was going on and rarely enhanced the story. It got to the point where if I read a paragraph and it didn't have a culture reference, I felt a wave of relief - occasionally going back to make sure I hadn't skipped a line.2. The main character is an
