This book is short – possibly a bit too short – and a boatload of fun.If you haven’t read “Bob The Zombie,” you should. It’s not necessary to enjoy the sequel, but it’s certainly helpful. And fun.Bob is a hapless young man who died in a tragic rose-trimming accident, was raised to zombie-hood by his grieving mother, who then couldn’t handle his actual zombie condition.In the sequel, Bob has adjusted fairly well to his condition, and he’s found a horde (read: family and friends) to live with. We meet one of them, Face, and get to know him pretty well.The plot  involves terrorists, double-crosses, supernatural politics, and intra-species relations. Humour abounds. This book made me laugh out loud a half-dozen times and smile throughout.Being the obsessive editor-type that I am, I cannot avoid remarking that there are a few (very few) rough patches. A couple of missing words. The occasional comma splice. The word “site” used when “sight” was intended. Did that dim my enjoyment? Nope.One thing I would say is that the conclusion of the major plot line was a little . . . sketchy, maybe. I wanted a little more development of the big plot twist at the end.I recommend this novella. Jaime Johnesee is a writer to keep your eye on.
