You may not care about zombies, but this isn't your typical zombie tome. Told as a series of interviews, this "oral history" of the zombie was is entertaining and erudite. Mr. Brooks cleverly works in historical references that add credibility to this history. I was very impressed by his ability to create a separate voice for each of his interviewees.

A well written, multi-layered mystery set in Tokyo. The well plotted story does a great job of bringing peripheral characters to the fore, only to push them back as new ones begin to play a central role. Very entertaining. Nominated for the Edgar Award.
