I don't usually write reviews, but I had to for this one. I had never read anything that had zombies in it, so I'm glad I gave this book a shot. R, the main zombie, strings together words in a very beautiful way. I had to stop and re-read a lot in order to savor a lot of what R had to say. His language and way in which he sees life and the things around him is what made this book great, if only more people were that way.
(Eliot Rosewater, on being asked what he would say while baptizing twin babies...) "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies--- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'"
Bonhoeffer was an amazing man and theologian. The book tells the complete story. When the author told the story of Bonhoeffer it was very engaging. what distracted from the book was direct quotes and letters from Bonhoeffer to friends and family or vice versa. Some were informative, but most were just proving a point that could have been stated in a few sentances or paragraph as opposed to pages of direct quotes. This made the reading the book tedious at times. The events took place in Germany during World War II and the time leading up to it. There were instances where the writer stated teh obvious and got off the story by giving a history lesson. Anyone who would pick up this book would be aware of the main events in Germany leading up to the war. I wish that some of Bonhoeffer's teachings and writing were explained in detail and expounded on. His covert actions and role in the attempted assasination on Hitler was glossed over. I am glad that I did spend the time reading the book and getting to know of Bonhoeffer. The book did motivate me to read more material of a spiritual nature.
