All the Tommys in the World
by Javier Gombinsky
🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Synopsis
They know something we don't.
For horror Youtubers Lilith and Nate, zombie movies are escapist fantasies. So when a real zombie uprising in the streets of New Southport is quickly thwarted, they know those familiar-looking ghouls are hiding something. They should know. Born with a weak heart in the funeral town of Leatelranch, built around the largest cemetery in the world, Lilith’s parents raised her with zombie stories to keep her from learning the truth about what happens inside the cemetery walls.
As for Nathan, the caretaker’s son... he has his reasons to be so cowardly. So when they get outsmarted by seemingly droning ghouls and are forced to split up, the uncanny coincidences are undeniable. And as things start to look more and more like Lilith’s apocalyptic visions, and as a darker threat lurks, it’ll be up to them to piece the puzzle before everyone they love faces a fate worse than becoming a zombie.
Can they be stopped? Are they just playing dead? Do they have a plan?
They know something we don’t. And whatever it is, they hate us for it.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.
So this was an interesting take on zombies. And while I appreciate what it did, it has solidified my suspicions on my zombie preferences. I want them either completely brainless only knowing that they need raw flesh (The Walking Dead) or totally passable as a living person who can live among the living without going crazy and eating everybody (iZombie). The really smart zombies of this book just aren't for me.
What I didn't like about All the Tommys in the World is that is dragged in certain places. Also, at times it became a bit confusing. If you're someone who enjoys a lot of world building this could be something you like. The characters are not well developed which isn't a bad thing for me specifically but I wanted to mention it for anybody who wants that building in their stories.
With that being said, I would still give this book a solid 3/5. I enjoyed the story and the characters enough to keep me going throughout the book. A couple of times I found myself lost but was able to get back on track. The best part of this book is how weird it is. It has certain incoherent aspect to it that makes reading it feel like you're going through a nightmare.
I'm not sure who I would specifically recommend this to. It's weird, it's different and it's got zombies so if those things appeal to you maybe you would enjoy this one.
