More About the Author

Michael P. Spradlin is the author of more than a dozen books for children, some of which have actually been published. He grew up in a small town in Michigan not far from the Indiana border, which may explain his irrational fear of Hoosiers. (Both the inhabitants of the state of Indiana and the movie starring Gene Hackman).

Surrounded by books in his formative years, he grew up loving to read, imagining himself the hero of numerous epic battles and indulging in his favorite pastime, which was smuggling fireworks across the Ohio border so that he could blow up his collection of Plastic Green Army Men and Matchbox Cars.

Michael is the author The Youngest Templar trilogy, The Spy Goddess series, and several picture books including the award winning Daniel Boone's Great Escape.

When not writing, he enjoys reading, traveling, spending time with his family and worrying over the fact that he really should be writing instead of doing other stuff. He lives in Michigan with his wife Kelly, son Michael, daughter Rachel and two dogs Willow and Apollo

3.0 out of 5 stars Eh...not as interesting a concept as it sounds, December 22, 2010

This review is from: Every Zombie Eats Somebody Sometime: A Book of Zombie Love Songs (Kindle Edition)

I got this on the cheap for my Kindle (I seem to think it was free for a short time) because it sounded funny. Not really so much. Essentially, all the author has done is take familiar songs and change the lyrics to be about zombie romance instead of non-zombie romance. Unfortunately, sometimes it just falls flat. A lot of times it falls flat. Okay, mostly, it just falls completely flat. I saw as I was coming in to write this review that the Kindle price was 8.99. Don't bother. Seriously. Do not bother. You want an interesting and irreverent zombie read that's worth the price? Go for Breathers: A Zombie's Lament or, even better, Christopher Moore's The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror.

There is not much to this book. Basically, it is a book of famous songs with the lyrics changed and modified to be all about zombies. And you know what......I thought it was great.

I was going to go through and talk about my favorite song, but I found that hard to do. If you are caught up in the current zombie craze, then this will be right up your alley. I don't know if it is worth 10 bucks, but to read it at a bookstore with a cup of coffee or checking it out from the library(if available) is a must.

Some examples

Sweet Caroline is Eat Caroline
I Want To Hold Your Hand is I Want To Eat Your Hand
You've Lost That Loving Feeling is You've Lost That Living Feeling(We found a brain...a brain...a brain you don't find everyday)

Stupid lyrics, but I love them. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a little zombie music lyrics. This was a nice way to end a long day and just chuckle to myself and think, "Aaron, you are such a dork!".

I really enjoyed this book and recognized most of the songs. I gave this book as a Christmas gift and it was a big hit! I also made a cd with 15 or so of the karaoke tracks to sing a long to. Very fun!
