Well if you are going to be knee deep in zombies and beaten to a pulp ending up locked in the cooler of a brewery might not be a bad place to be; unless of course there is no tap for the kegs.  Tell Me When I'm Dead is sure to be a fun read for fans of zombie apocalypse adventures.  In this book we follow Dave who is a small town boy who hit his prime in high school playing hockey.  He subsequently falls into alcoholism with his best friend Jim and all of the pitfalls associated with this lifestyle.  Once Dave meets Holly, he finds new purpose in life, something he wants more than the bottle, and works to turn his life around.  However, as all humans are fallible Dave makes some poor life choices that come back to bite him both literally and figuratively.  I have to admit at the beginning of the read that I really did not care much for Dave, he annoyed me and in my opinion is not a very likeable fellow.  As the story progresses chaos runs rampant and all Dave's poor life choices come home to roost.  The infected multiply,  contract solders and paramilitary nutbunnies clash, and Dave, Holly, and a small band of friends work together to try to survive caught in the middle.  By the end of the tale I liked Dave and the story resolved leaving me content. I enjoyed the author's writing style it was clean and the characters were so believable I think I may have seen a couple of them at the local market the other day.  This is definitely a fun and satisfying read for those needing a zombie fix.  I requested this book from the author and received it with a request for my honest review without any compensation whatsoever, other than the joy of reading a new book.
