Um . . . Really?

So, I was browsing the bookstore today (didn't buy anything), when I came across this.  I'm really not sure what to think!

Really! Better still (not so much), they've already optioned the rights for a film. :\

Oh good Lord! It gets worse! That'll be one summer blockbuster (or just bust?) I won't be lining up to see!

My friend keeps going on about this, but I've yet to get out of her whether it was any good. I er... doubt it.

I rather doubt it myself. I used Amazon's "look inside" feature and it kind of reads a little like bad fanfic (which might be what this is!).

One person commented that to enjoy it, you really need to read it as a tongue-in-cheek composition, but really, couldn't the guy just write a zombie story without butchering literature?

Don't forget the zombies!!

i think the zombies go without saying.

Ah, okay then . . . so let us celebrate the wonder that is the Crazy Fanfic Cat Ladies :D

Nice icon, by the way!

And, evidently, I clicked the wrong one.

*big grin* well of course i HAD to grab that one. i'm learning to express my every thought and emotion through icons. it seems the thing to do.

Well, to be quite honest I fully expected to share that one :D

I can see the draw of a paid account with more than 15 icons available to match the theme of the comment! In fact, I think it's fab.

Don't think. Run.

Hey, new icon! And don't worry, I ran. I ran far.

I figured you'd appreciate this one!

Oh, I have a ton of icons. I just forget to use them most of the time.
