its supposed to be just 2 stars but i gave it three stars because it reminded me how much i hate my corporate job lmao
This book was recommended to me to help me fulfill a prompt for the A-to-Z challenge I am doing this year. Is it just me or are Graphic Novels/Manga hard to review? Overall, I enjoyed this one. I like reading zombie books, and all of the ones I've read are pretty much somber, but this one is a fresh take on zombies. This one's more let's say upbeat (even though I don't think that's the right word to use but I can't think of the right one right now). This was a quick read with a great story and illustrations, and I liked the metaphor. My only complaint has to do with the illustrations. Why were a lot of the zombies naked? Like I get clothes rot off or whatever, but this was done in a sexy way and was just weird.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
So, I picked this one up to see if I should add it to my YA collection. The answer? No. But that doesn't mean it isn't good! In fact, I had a fantastic time reading this one and laughed A LOT. This would be great in the adult section, especially for New Adults.
Akira is happy about the zombie apocalypse because it means he finally gets a day off. Funny, yes, but also a real look at what some people, a lot of people, have to deal with. It made me think about how many other overworked people would find the apocalypse relaxing – at least at first.
But, I'm calling this more of an adult or new adult book because of some of the nudity, drinking, and the problems the main character dealt with in his life.
