Who knew a zombie could be vegan?! That's just one twist on movie version zombies in Jen Frankel's book Undead Redhead... Wonderful story, full of humour and great characters. If you like any type of zombie, this is a great story for you. Lee A. Farruga, The Geeky Godmother Frankel is good at creating credibly absurd scenes. The climactic scene in the novel, which brings many of the main characters in the story together in a television studio, wraps up storylines in a satisfying humorous way. To her credit, Frankel is trying to do something fresh with a currently overexposed sub-genre. Those who are expecting a zombie apocalypse will be disappointed by Undead Redhead. However, those who are looking for a fun, original take on the zombie sub-genre will find a very rewarding book. Ira Nayman, Amazing Stories Magazine This story is less about zombies and more about learning self-love, self-acceptance and gaining confidence...The characters in this story are funny, quirky and memorable as Frankel masterfully weaves together the subplots and various narrative viewpoints into a tense but satisfying showdown. Vanessa Ricci-Thode, After the Dragon Raid This is not your typical horror tale... (T)he protagonist is in fact a redhead who has indeed come back from the dead as a zombie. There happens to be one slight problem with her reanimation: Sharon, the redhead, is (was) a vegan... Not only does she have to now adjust to being a very sentient, yet mildly rotting zombie, but she also to has to find an atypical undead regimen to satiate her growing hunger... I would recommend this book to light horror fans (no gore alerts here!), those who enjoy some romance, as well as those who like comedic and ironic situations in their stories. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. rssllue, Beardmaster of BookshelvesOnlinebookclub.org official review 4.5/5 stars. This was a delightful read. Funny and resonant of modern society in all its North American wackiness. I loved the satire in the story, sentimentally for the redhead in the pink bridesmaids dress (been there), but more intellectually for the fun poked at the pomp of weddings, the irrationality of internet sensations, the opportunism of the media, and the way humans can interact in crazy, unfeeling ways. All that said, the characters were realistic, and some were caring, compassionate people. Ann Dulhanty, The Spiders Edge Jen Frankel does a wonderful job at delving into the psyche of a repressed main character who acquires personal liberty while being the living dead. It's a refreshing, lively, and entertaining story... The cast is diverse and interesting... a gang of deadbeat friends, a crack lady, Morgoni the cryptoparapsychocriminolo-gist (say that ten times fast), an Internet stalking identity thief, and the ever precocious and adorable Waglet... fun, silly, and intelligent too... It's an easy read, but I wouldn't advise reading it too fast or you might miss moments of subtle humour. Kit Daven, The Other Castle (A) zombie novel for people like me who hate zombie novels. Martin Berman-Gorvine, The Bold Mom
