Handling the Undead Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book focuses on some peoples experiences when recently dead loved ones come back, amid an uprising in general of the recently dead. I had a bit of a hard time getting into this book, and feel any type of connection with the characters. That said, it was still peaked my interest enough to want to keep reading to see what would happen. If you like Stephen King-esque horror novels, you would probably like this. However, it was just not for me. "

" I'm not going to lie -- Let The Right One In was better. Think of this book as his sophomore album, because that's what it feels like. That said, this was an interesting variation on the zombie tale, something much more complicated than the George Romero canon that nonetheless dovetails with it. The characters are compelling, and you won't want to put the book down. "

" I really loved this book. I was expecting the same old zombies eating brains story, but it is nothing like that! It's creepy at times and heartfelt at times. This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. "

" This haunting incarnation of the zombie myth by the Swedish master of the horror genre is macabre and moving: compassionate, witty and entirely gruesome. "

" Not what I expected. Emotionally affecting. "

" A completely fascinating story - part horror, part drama,part tragedy. It's scary, moving and I loved it. "

" "Handling the Undead" wasn't what I expected. I was looking for a fun zed novel but it was so much more. "Handling the Undead" is about the desire we have to hold on to the ones we love and the desperate measures we will take to cling to them. "

" same swedish author as "let the right one in". this was a different view/version of the "undead". i would say if you're a big gore fan this won't satiate your needs. however, i would suggest this to people who don't usually read books about zombies. "

" not nearly as good as Let the Right One in "

" A very different take on zombie stories. Not at all what I was expecting, but quite good nonetheless. #25 in the Book a Month in 2012 Challenge from the #WTM boards. "

" This book was incredibly slow. It took forever to get into and I skimmed whole chapters it seemed like. The reason it earned 3 stars from me is simply because towards the end it picked up and the 'Undead' creeped me out! "

" This story was incredibly creepy and I almost couldn't finish it because it made me uncomfortable, however I had to know how it ended so I pushed through anyway. "

" I enjoyed this book although it was very disturbing. The very nature of death is brought into question as well as our reactions to it. It made me wonder what I would do if I was in that same situation. "

" ugh... such a disappointment... massive number of missteps, in my opinion, and not even close to the power of 'Let the Right One In.' "

" Amazing reboot of the zombie idea. I found the ending a bit odd, as some problems seemed unresolved (or at least not addressed enough), but I really enjoyed it otherwise. "

" I was a bit disappointed in this book, mostly because I enjoyed Let the Right One Inso much. This book is written well, the prose is beautiful, the emotions lovely, but the plot wasn't as tight as I prefer. Still an interesting, enjoyable read. "

" Didn't capture my attention as much as "Let the Right One in." "

" Intense! Couldn't put it down. John Ajvide Lindqvist was born to write. I now have a new favorite author "

" Good book. A pretty unique spin on the zombie genre. I recommend it to anyone who enjoyed "Let the Right One In". I will say its kind of weird though. Definitely not a thrill a minute type book, more of a wtf type book. Still pretty darn good though. "

" One of the saddest books ever. "

" I expected more after Let The Right One In. "

" Very depressing story. As zombie books go, this one is about as slow and dreary as you can get. Not a fan. "
