Hey Husk! That was really nice of you. Thanks so much for the reviews and for spreading the word! A review in Amazon.com would indeed help, so if you have the time, I would appreciate it.PS: BTW, you did know that this edition is a translated version of the original in Spanish, right? That one is available as ebook at and
Edit: Oops, I see that you indeed posted your review in Amazon.com.mx' page of the Spanish edition ^_-
Hi Kelly,Thank you for your kind words!
Regarding words that might sound awkward due to translation issues, I am not expecting you to reread the book (just yet ^_-) but if you recall any, by all means, please do tell.
I'd really love another chance to read and review this book. I requested a copy, but when I got an email containing it, I was unable to open or view it. If another copy can be sent I will read and review promptly as always. [email protected] if you can send it as pdf or online view word format. Whatever works. If not, I'm sorry I missed out. Thanks
Hi, Cheryl.I referred to my editor your problem of being unable to open the EPUB file that I sent you, and he tells me that he sent you a link to a downloadable PDF file as alternative. Were you unable to open that PDF file too? If you do not mind, though, let’s take the discussion regarding technical aspects of how to open those files to private messaging, though.
Hi it didn't retract from the story for me but the right words were used just the wrong meanings. Once I read that it was a translation it made sense. I'm not sure which words it was. Is there a sequel to this? If so can't wait

A sequel is in the works, in Spanish for the time being ^_-
Summary:
“The day I died was the day when I nearly lost the little humanity that was left inside me. The eternal promise of leaving as a peaceful spirit was never fulfilled; instead, I became a wandering soul, rooted to the entrails of this wasteland. You might think that smiling in the face of death should be something glorious, but there’s nothing glorious about this. There’s only a deep and sinister emptiness inside. Destiny made me walk among demons I didn’t need to be scared of. It allowed me to stare at the sun without looking away from dawn to dusk. It placed the burden of this world on my back and also forced me to remember the meaning of love…and of giving human beings a second chance. Was there ever a reason for so many broken laws? Who knows…Let me tell you about a fascinating journey and faraway lands, about unswerving loyalty and unimaginable creatures. My name is Erico Lombardo and I am doomed to be aware of myself. Maybe, after my death, I still had one last thing to do…�
“Diary of a Zombie� transports us to a desolate world, a planet wiped out by a massive pandemic where human beings have almost become extinct. But what makes this story different from the rest is the fact that it is told from a very unusual point of view: that of a zombie who, for unknown reasons, keeps his human consciousness and free will after being transformed. This is a unique case.
After a few chapters in which the character is introduced, we will witness a story of redemption, full of human values, that is centered around a peculiar friendship. Erico’s cold, cynical and unsociable behavior will gradually change as he meets a lonely and mysterious 8-year-old girl on whom humankind’s scarce chances of survival depend. During the whole of his epic adventure, Erico will be linked to his most human side again, as he recovers memories and feelings he had not experienced since the times when warm blood still coursed through his veins.
“Diary of a Zombie�, mostly set in a post-apocalyptic Barcelona, presents a pleasant story which will bring the reader both tears and laughter. It is a breath of fresh air that reinvents a genre which apparently had nothing new to offer.
