The most important thing you have to notice about the book is the disclaimer written below the title. Even though the cover illustrates an awesome zombie unicorn, this isn’t about unicorns turning into zombies. I guess Mr. John Green isn’t ready to write about that yet. Bummer! Lol.

What the story really is about is CORN. Lots and lots of corn which is the reason people got “z’ed up� or got infected by this virus that assumingly came from canned corn. Lol!



Former people who got z’ed up or zombified became extremely loyal to corn and kept planting them. Such a hilarious deconstruction of Plants Vs. Zombies! LMAO! The tone of the story is indeed big on dark and weird humor.

But more than the story’s absurdity is the fundamental element usually present in Mr. Green’s stories. Only he can make a silly zombie apocalyptic story completely deep in philosophical meanings. Through the eyes of Mia, a 16 year old lone survivor of Chicago, whose will to live seems to depend on the remaining bottles of wine in her cellar, this story brings up the question on the reason of human existence, the answer to the question of the BIG WHY. Why do people make certain decisions? Why do people want what they want?

But the real question is do you want to read the book? If yes, it’s free! Go check it out here.


Thanks to Elaine whose awesome review made me read the book.

message 16: by Kelsi (new)

Kelsi No zombie unicorns?!?!!??! That's false advertising folks, but we can't complain because in little tiny text at the bottom of the cover it says that the book isn't about zombie unicorns. What's with the cover then? And corn?!?! Zombie unicorns: So much better. :D


Binibining `E (of The Ugly Writers) yes there is book 2. I don't wanna spoil you so just check this one out The War for Banks Island haha!

Kelsi: I know, right. I'm very disappointed too. Lol.

Elaine: Lol. Awesome. Thank you, sweetie.^^

Alafiya: lol. I didn't know this existed either and two, it wasn't boring at all. Just a bit silly and too short but still enjoyable.^^
