Sorry for the delay in the review, family commitments got in the way.
I Am Scrooge is a great fun read. It takes Dickens's original classic and runs with it to a whole different place.
The character of Scrooge is not quite the miserable old git of the original but is a great character.
There are some great ideas here which could have been expanded on in a non-pastiche book about ghosts, zombies and the history of the world.
There are some parts which make you out and out groan but overall it is a really funny book.
AND any book that replaces the line I hate so much from the original with a zombie take must be recommended.
So give it a go and remember:
GO BASH 'EM, EVERY ZOM!!
