* the book would have been more pulled together if Sam's narration was in the third person. * the flashbacks slowed down the momentum a little too much * it would have been fun to see more of the critters that appear later in the book * Douglas would have been more interesting if his character was a little more developed * I would have liked to have seen more of Sam's necromancy powers appear earlier on This is probably a 3.5 star book for me, though, since: "So, you're telling me the zoo commissioned you to make a zombie panda in order to avoid a potential international incident." Hah! All the characters are engaging and likable, especially smart-mouthed Sam, strong and beautiful Brid, Sam's little sisters, the.incapacitated Brooke, and the gleefully bizarre Ashley. I have to confess it took me awhile to get to this one because I think the title is a little cheesy (and it's now obviously impossible to get Elton John out of my head), but this turned out to be a hilarious book that had me laughing out loud numerous times-not a bad feat when a big part of the book is about raising the dead.
