R is a zombie. He has no memory of his past. He doesnt remember his parents. He doesnt remember his name. R doesnt even remember how he became a zombie. He lives with his fellow dead at an abandoned airport, spending his time riding the escalators and wondering through the world with no emotions. But when he and his zombie friends go looking for food, R eats the brain of a boy named Perry and gets Perrys memories including his time with his girlfriend, Julie. R is fascinated by Julie. When he sees her during a skirmish, he saves her from his friends. He doesnt want to eat herhe wants to keep her for himself. R takes her back to the abandoned airplane he calls home and tells her he will keep her safe.

This is a love story told from a zombies point-of-view. R is not like the other zombies. He is lonely and knows his life is lacking. He craves love and contact with humans. There is some humor in this book, and some parts that just totally creeped me out. I liked reading his thoughts on different subjects, and I liked his stilted conversations with Julie once she lost her wariness of him. I was not crazy about all of the Perry flashbacks that were going through his brain throughout the book. I sometimes had to skim these sections. But overall this is a unique book I would recommend to anyone who isnt squeamish on the subject matter. My rating: 4 Stars.
