John Doe is the zombie in question, and for the most part the central protagonist.
It has to be said, this is very much a book of two halves.
The bullet time, as has already been mentioned, is basically taken fromThe Matrix.
There are pretty standard werewolves.
There is a man with a large head who has the power to move objects with his mind.
Its readable, but all very familiar.
Likewise, the constant switching from first to third-person narrative always flows smoothly and never seems too jarring.
Sure, its far-fetched, ludicrous and silly fun, but that is entirely the point.
The important thing is, this is a highly enjoyable story breathing new life into and old genre.
I expect good things from the rest of the series.
