Here's what I remember most about this book: telling everybody in my life about it while I was reading it! I found it just the most novel and interesting concept- what if, instead of the zombie infection tearing through people indiscriminately, or a post-apocalyptic landscape where only the smart, resourceful, and strong survive . . . all that was left were junkies? The premise of meth in one's veins keeping folks from succumbing to the infection is just incredibly unique: from the initial discovery (much like The Walking Dead's opening coma, coming off of a bender to find out what's going on is very fun), to the near-comical antics of the single-minded hunt for more drugs, to the concept of the only people left being methheads, with all the trustworthiness and personality flaws that entails, to the real concern of what to do when the drugs run out, to the heartbreaking concept of wanting to get clean but literally being unable to do so . . . I was never bored once while reading it. The only downside is that, well, there's no happy ending- and perhaps it's naive to have hoped that it might've. But I can't imagine that anybody would dislike this book, and think fan of the zombie genre would love it. After all, addicts are already nearly invisible and forgotten in our society, but this book puts them at the center (both simultaneously unflinching and yet somehow sympathetic- a masterful feat to pull off) of a story where I, at least, have never seen them before. Highly recommend.

Interesting. Disgusting. Intense. Harsh, poetic, and gross. I struggled to understand a meth addict's p.o.v., while during a zombie apocalypse..... Not really sure if I could. I never knew there were so many nicknames for meth. So many ways to take it. I'm a little sorry I read it......it was just the gory traffic accident of an ending I thought it would be. I need to go see some Disney cartoons, now. ( )

What the hell did I just read? Unique take on the 'end of the humans' genre. The zombies are barely visible in this one, but they aren't the point. (Hint: The zombies are never the point.) The idea of being a tweaker for the rest of your life is a fate worse than death or being a zed. ( )

Imagine a zombie apocalypse where the only survivors are meth addicts and they have to get a regular fix to ward off becoming zombies themselves. Hilariously dark premise and execution. ( )

I won a copy of this for free from a Goodreads giveaway. So Meth Heads and Zombies. Original, quirky, often intense and definitely one you don't want to put down. It's a little insane and lots of fun (and yeah, definitely quite often cringe worthy)It will turn you into a Fiend Fan! ( )
