Review: Dry Humour. Great short!

This author has easily snuck his way into the ranks amongst my favourites. Garth Nix, Eoin Colfer, Isaac Asimov, Saul Tanpepper... sort of rolls off the tongue.However, where I may select the others based on their characters and storylines, I love the dry wit and writing style that this author provides. This offering is no exception.The first-person narrative he does so well, is complimented by superb writing and editing and it is only (I have to say) the fact that I didn't connect as well with this character, than I have with others from this particular author, that precludes it from getting that 5th star.Don't get me wrong. This is a good little story and although I took my time and wandered through it in a leisurely hour, I don't doubt it could be read significantly faster. The humour - as always - is carefully written and nicely applied, dark as it is.This isn't a Zombie story in the accepted sense, but it is a nice twist on the genre and worthy of the acclaim.4 deserved stars.
