Zed is cursed by thought, making him different from all the other zombies. He doesn't like Activists. He does like TV and books, which is how he has educated himself. One day as he was quietly reading, he heard a commotion. He finds a girl running from a zombie, and the zombie has a pair of GI boots. He already has a helmet, now he wants those boots. After he finishes off the zombie he goes for the girl. For some strange reason he doesn't kill her. He tries to act like a real zombie so the girl will go away and leave him alone. Instead she laughs at him. It wasn't bad enough that he lost his taste for brains, now he chooses to let the girl live. She comes into his lair and makes herself at home. He's puzzled by his feelings of annoyance. She starts a fire and promptly falls asleep. After she burns down his lair, she promises to make it up to him. But when she gets caught, he knows it's him that has to save her.The cover is great. Loved it. Different kind of zombie book. I thought of Zed as being more human than zombie. It was funny hearing his thoughts as they go through the mall (maul). When he describes smiling, it made me smile. As he talks about the taste of caramelized pork loin and how delicious he thought it was, and so much different than brains, it made me think of a child tasting it for the first time. When he was driving the car, I was cracking up. The book is like looking through the eyes of a child as they learn all the simple and wondrous things we take for granted. I laughed all the way through it.Zed (Zed Trilogy)
