In THE REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS, Temple helps a mentally retarded man find his home, seeking redemption in the process, while a killer hunts her, seeking revenge. The setting is sometimes oddly unrealistic and the poetic voice at times a little overworked, but it is a beautiful book–that rare literary zombie novel–that questions whether one must choose between survival and morality during the apocalypse. A must read.
Excellent book! I just listened to the audio version a few weeks ago.
