Fifty Shades of Brains
by BF Dealeo is one of the funniest, snarkiest, most twisted books I’ve read in
a long time. Done as a spoof (or homage, you decide) for E.L. James’ 50 Shades of Grey book, it features Aurora
Foyle, otherwise known as Ro, going to interview famed zombie hunter Caligula
Green (nice twist of name for a zombie book) who has helped protect Seattle
after the zombie apocalypse and organize the survivors. He offers her a job but
she wants more than just that, she also wants what’s in his pants (sorry,
couldn’t resist.) This starts what promises to be an interesting and sick
relationship. It’s just not guaranteed to be a long one. One of my favorite
parts was the multiple times Ro’s inner voice spoke to her as a variety of
creatures, such as her inner goddess, inner life guard, inner therapist, etc. I
may have to go back and count how many different inner voices she actually has.
It looks like there might be a sequel, so I've got my fingers crossed that I might get to read more about Ro. If you like 50 Shades of Grey and like zombies, you will love this book. If you
didn’t like 50 Shades of Grey and like zombies, you will love this book. If you
don’t like zombies, you just aren’t worth talking too.
