Is there a reason why this had to be written from a female POV? I am asking because I would have never guessed the narrator was a girl if it wasn't specifically mentioned in the story. In fact, for the 1st quarter of the novella I was sure it was being narrated by a guy, and even after that point Mia remained more of a Michael to me. Plus, if you are sure your work is crap (see the book description), why would you encourage readers to pay $25 for it? Just because it has your name on it? If you w...

Lately, I've heard a lot of books with zombies rambling and eating human brain but I don't have the time to buy, not really the time but the money to spend for them. I saw two of my friends reviewed this zombie land-ia book with unicorns? Huh? Ok, that makes my mind go round after I saw the cover with rotten, loin-less unicorn! After checking the book page an imaginary book hit my back, since almost of my friends here in GR already read this short novella and that makes me feels like an out-date...

WARNING: There may be an over use of “!” in the following review.Zombicorns isn’t what you think it is. It’s better. All right, all right I might be a tad biased. Nah, I’m a lot biased. But I can’t help it! It’s John Green!!! (See my profile answer as to what your favorite books are.) I love John Green for his writing: you can always count on humor, good fun and honesty. While this novella does meet said criteria, it adds something more that (I have come to) love: ZOMBIES! This zombie novella co...

I feel like giving this four stars is way too generous, but three stars is outrageously stingy. I mean, how good can a novella about corn-obsessed zombies really be? Mr President disappears whenever it's inconvenient to have him around, the footnotes are massively unwieldy and the zombies flip-flop between wanting to eat the protagonist and wanting to 'convert' her. Even so, I thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoyed "ZOMBICORNS" and the ideas contained within are still giving me food for thought days and...

I came to the conclusion a while ago that there is nothing romantic or supernatural about loving someone:  Love is the privilege of being responsible for another. [my favorite quote from Zombicorns]   What a way to get me depressed AND force me to think. For being a novella of only about 70 pages, Zombicorns was very thought-provoking indeed. You might not think much of such a satirically titled work, but it's definitely worth at least a peek. (I can guarantee that you will be hooked enough to a...

"I came to the conclusion a while ago that there is nothing romantic or supernatural about loving someone: Love is the privilege of being responsible for another." Zombicorns.... Zombies who protects corns. Reminds me of the game Plants vs. Zombies, but in here Zombies protects their corn for some reason. And the thing is there aren't any unicorns in this one. So you'd thought there would be one? but no, I hate to be the one to tell you there is no effin' unicorns in this book. A story about sur...

Update:ZombiecornsZombie...cornsZombies and corn?Oh, I get it now.No zombie unicorns here. Just a play on the word zombiecorn. Well done, John Green. I didn't realize it until days after finishing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~No unicorns. Lots of corn. So much corn...

“You know who else used to be people?” she asked me after a while. “We did. And they took that away from us.” Can I just say, clever use of a pun in the title. Being a bit slow, I only realised after I'd actually completed the novella myself but it did stir a few laughs from me. Seeing as this is quite a short novella, and the plot basically consists of a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies and corn I don't feel a need to provide a synopsis in this small review.This was okay, I found i

Oh how lovely to be a zombie unicorn!! Unfortunately, we may never know...Zombie unicorns are of peace, always!For a very long time, the great conundrum of the world has been this: Zombies? Or unicorns?It seemed something had come along to finally resolve this issue: ZOMBIE UNICORNS!! But things are not as they seem. Dun, dun, dun. By the way, this book is a free download from John Green, just click on the book page and hit 'download ebook'. Then par-tay!!!I had a conversation, albeit somewhat i...

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 zombifi...

so it automatically loses a star for false advertising. do not put a unicorn on the cover unless there is actually a unicorn to be had. cheap shot, john green - you know i am a girl and as such, genetically inclined towards all things unicorn. but it automatically gains a star for being a free download which is a generous thing for an author to do (and this from someone who hates reading on the computer - you see what the "promise" of a unicorn will do). even though it was short, i had to read i...

I was talking to someone the other day about Author Blindness, which is a serious problem which plagues the best of us, or at least me. I have had Author Blindness with John Green. The day I finished reading Paper Towns, I went out and bought every other published work of his including the usual suspects - An Abundance of Katherines and Looking for Alaska - but also stuff like Will Grayson, Will Grayson, Let It Snow, and Geektastic. I consumed everything and I was so in love with his writing and...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/John Green wrote a book about zombie unicorns?!?!?!?!?! When this title popped up, things got a bit . . . . uhhhhh, SCREAMY. Welp, turns out that Zombicorns isn't about undead one-horned magical beasts, but is actually a story of the zombification of regular ol’ people through the ingestion of corn. An anti-Monsanto statement, maybe???? Nahhhhhhhh. Well, maybe, but not really. It was actually about each individual’s “U.C” . . .

John Green can continue to argue that this was badly written, but he is so very wrong. I loved this. Actually, it's probably the only zombie apocalypse story I've ever read that I really enjoyed. The book wasn't about killing zombies to survive another day, it was about why, as humans, do we desire to live? He writes about this Ultimate Concern that everyone has, which is basically the thing that each person fights to live for. The only off-putting part was at the end when (view spoiler)[ Mia (t...

A zombie apocalypse and it's philosophical ramifications. John Green is a great writer. No matter the subject, he is able to lift it with a certain charm. There were places in this story where you could tell it was an unedited work. But despite the short length of the story, the time restraints John had and a few awkward passages, this story was great. The ending was surprisingly good. I found this passage to be a gem,“I never thought before all this that evangelism was itself memetic, but it tu...
