<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After the zombie apocalypse, can zombies and humans live together in peace and harmony? College professor-cum-zombie Jack Barnes is determined to try, in this wonderfully stylish and humorous debut novel.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"A witty and unexpected take on the zombie genre; I had a great time."<br />--Charlaine Harris, #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels</p> </p>Subtitled "A Zombie Memoir,"<em> Brains </em>looks at America's favorite walking-dead flesh-eaters from an audaciously original and deliciously gruesome new perspective. Debut author Robin Becker blazes new ground with this story of former college professor-cum-sentient zombie Jack Barnes, who recounts the tale of the resistance he organized in the wake of the recent zombie apocalypse. <em>World War Z; Shaun of the Dead;</em> <em>Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies...</em> Becker tops them all with <em>Brains</em>--a witty, tasty treat for anyone who every spent a midnight glued to a classic George A. Romero zombie epic!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>College-professor-cum-zombie Jack Barnes is a different breed of undead--he can think. In fact, he can even write. And the story he has to tell is a truly disturbing--yet strangely heartwarming--one. </p><p>Convinced he'll bring about a peaceful coexistence between zombies and humans if he can demonstrate his unique condition to Howard Stein, the man responsible for the zombie virus, Barnes sets off on a grueling cross-country journey to meet his maker. Along the way he recruits a small army of super zombies that will stop at nothing to reach their goal. There's Guts, the dreadlocked boy who can run like the wind; Joan, the matronly nurse adept at reattaching decaying appendages; Annie, the young girl with a fierce quick-draw; and Ros, who can actually speak. United they embark on an epic quest to attain what all men, women--and, apparently, zombies--yearn for: equality. </p><p><em>Brains</em> is a blood-soaked, darkly humorous story that will have readers rooting for Barnes and his zombie posse to the very end.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An unusual take on the zombie genre: part <i>Grapes of Wrath</i>, part postmodern memoir....
