    My Girlfriend is a Zombie

    The Zombie Wilson Diaries plays on the castaway scenario replacing the volleyball named Wilson from the Tom Hanks film with a zombie girl who is quite a bit more animated and a whole lot more bitey than a ball with a bloody hand print for a face. Our nameless narrator begins his diary while on a business trip to the islands, which turns into a plane crash which lands him on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean with one of the other passengers, who apparently floated up to the island alive, just like him, but made the unfortunate decision to eat some exotic berries that have turned her from a hottie model type into a rottie gooey type. But fear not, our narrator decides to take her under his wing instead of bashing her skull in with a big rock because she keeps him company on a island lacking in others to socially interact with. Oh, we do get the occasional interloper, like our fair lady's dead rotting hubby and a few natives who have canoed over from another island, but for the most part, this tale of a fateful trip is all about a man and his zombie.

    A nice touch with this book is the appearance of handwritten text and the hand scrawled stick drawings that the narrator puts at the front of each chapter, which added to the personal diary feel of this story.

    It is an intriguing relationship that this deluded and desperate man has with a creature that I found hard to define as far as what her role was. Each chapter starts with "My girlfriend..." but it becomes clear that the zombie in this story plays multiple parts, and girlfriend, it seems, is probably the least of them. Desperate for companionship, it is almost as if she is his pet or willful child, as he takes care of her and keeps her from getting into trouble, while at the same time she snaps at him and generally acts like a brat, but there are moments when it seems that his girl, undead Friday, seems to recognize and even relies on him, especially when there are thunderstorms and undead sharks trying to snap her in half.

    The comedy here is dark and should be appreciated by a fan of the zombie genre for certain, as well as those who like a bit of a twisted tale in general. The self-induced torture that this castaway goes through as he debates, on a daily basis, whether it would just be better to kill this creature even though she provides him with a shred of human contact, is a wickedly humorous conflict. I'm not really sure whether I liked this guy or I just wanted to smack some sense into him, but I know one thing for sure, this book was an entertaining journey into the surreal.

    Beats a Volleyball Any Old Day

    Alone, on a deserted island, with nothing but a zombie for company? What is a lonely young man to do?
    Bash in her brains or keep her alive? Have company for dinner or become dinner? The choice is a hard one, a ridiculous one, and as it would turn out a hilarious one.

    Mr. Long's book takes the tired concept of the classic 'Robinson Crusoe' wreckage and breaths new live into it. Or rather new death. With his addition of a zombie as the main character's only companion he gives us a complex set of moral questions that, although he doesn't answer all of them, are way funnier than you would expect them to be.

    Written in 'journal' format, the book can be a bit annoying at times with it's deliberate misspellings and grammar issues. Yet these purposeful mistakes lend an air of believability to the diary style, and as you settle into reading it they all but disappear in the face of the protagonist's struggle against zombie husbands and zombie sharks.

    Yes you read that right. Zombie sharks.

    The main character is both obnoxious and charming. One moment you hope he is rescued, the next you find yourself rooting for Zombie Wilson to just take a chunk out of his head so he will shut the heck up and quit his whining! The sexual tension is laugh out loud funny, with the lead character reminding himself more than once that the while the zombie is female, she is indeed dead. Mr. Long employs the stereo type that a man will bed anything that moves not just for a laugh, but to reiterate that his lead male is all too human.

    If I had any complaint it would be the font. I understand it was an attempt to make it look handwritten, but in the long run it is a bit harsh on the eyes. While I can normally read for long periods of time, I had to give this one a break every now and again just to let my eyes rest.

    I had to give Mr. Long five stars just for the idea alone. After I received this book in the mail, I spent the entire night toting it around my work place, showing it off while explaining the concept to very confused coworkers. After reading it cover to cover I fell in love with the story, so the five stars were well earned. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something a little bit different to add to their zombie repertoire.

    The Zombie-Wilson Diaries is as funny as a story about tying a dead girl to a tree and talking to her can get.
