Zombies?  Really?  Oh, Yeah!

This author broke a solemn vow never to write a zombie story, and I for one am glad he did.  As another reviewer mentioned, this is the most laid back zombie story ever.  Not on the action side, maybe, but in the attitude of the survivors.  Yes, dead people walking around trying to eat you is crazy, but not doing anything about it is even crazier.  This group of four friends are admitted zombie and horror geeks and that makes their transition to hunting zombies that much easier.  They get their screaming and "crying like little girls" over early in a really funny passage, and then "cowboy up" to save as many people as they can.  The writing style is as we have come to expect from Mr. Reeder and if you are looking for a book written in the Queen's English, you might just want to keep on looking.  Plenty of really pretty written zombie stories out there where not much happens, but the author explores the poor victims' feelings of angst and depression in excruciating detail.  This one, not so much, and I prefer it that way.  Can't wait for what this author will think up next.

Wow. This was really a good read. I actually got mad at the end of it because it was over. That's how you can tell it's a good read. Good story, I really liked the characters and yes, lots of zombies :) I really hope this is not the only one in this series. Don't make me beg for another one cause I will!!

A completely fun zany book about zombies! Told in three short stories, I would have loved to know more about any of the three. This book is not for youngsters, though. It is most definitely rated R. There is violence and it is sexually explicit. For a stay at home mom, who spends a great deal of time with Sesame Street, it was refreshing to read something hard core grown up.

Don't assume that because its zombies, the writing will be subpar. Mr. Miskel considers every word carefully, and they have a lyrical quality, even when he is utilizing humor. Put aside your puritanical stuffiness and come along for a fun ride.

As far as zombie books go, this one is quite good. At least I think it is, I haven't read a lot in this genre.

I like the zombies in this book because they make a lot more sense than the familiar living dead portrayed elsewhere. These almost make sense. The characters in the book are good, believable, and have unique personalities. The world is fairly well thought out and detailed. There's a lot of action, most of which is a fun ride.

There are a couple of things I didn't like. I hate when people who are dying explain the reasons for their actions or tell the survivors some great secret that will push them to pursue a hopeless (ha!) cause. There are certain aspects of the story that don't really make sense, and this is not necessary for the working of the plot. Lastly, the book leaves many things unresolved to  try to prompt the reader to read the next book in the series. A good book doesn't need that, the reader will love the characters and their world enough to continue without the lack of satisfaction of a good ending.

I thought this would be just a goofy and silly read. Its all that and much, much more. I was turned on to this reading through my teenage son who I had facetiously Q & A for an hour about zombie behavor. Every silly (and serious) question I asked he had an answer. What to do about burning zombies...it's in the book; do zombies sleep...it's in the book; can zombies climb stairs...it's in the book. Best weapons, how to hide from, best clothing, can you walk amoung them, close combat, etc....it's in the book. This reads like an army survival guide with punchline on every page. If you know nothing about zombies and are worried about surviving the next undead apocalypse, or just want to smile at how the folks in the zombie movies keep fowling things up, than this book is a must have. The author forms his own path of intellectual humor different from his father's (Mel Brooks), but still keep the same fart joke wit. Cool read.

A fun little romp of a book, with a good balance of serious horror and light comedy, and a great sequel to Vegan Teenage Zombie Hunter. I recommend reading the pair together--they both go quite fast. Silverman's continuing drive to show how outcasts and losers can overcome even apocalyptic obstacles when push comes to shove.

Silverman does a great job conveying the experience of fighting the undead while on a bad trip--and as she describes in an afterword, she did the research to back it up! The accentuation of the paranoia, disorientation, and shock of finding the undead stalking the landscape while stoned comes through quite well.

I really enjoyed the book--the tension runs high, and the plot moves briskly. I do think I liked the first book a little better--the pacing of the second half wasn't quite as strong in this book as the first. But it's well worth the price of admission, and I look forward to future efforts--Debs Among the Dead? A.V. Versus Zombie? Theater Geeks of the Damned? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I have been reading a lot of zombie books in the last couple of years. And I've been reading horror for more years than you want to know about. So it takes a lot to impress me. And impress me, this book DID.

I know it's going to keep being good when my preconceptions of what's going to happen keep being derailed. Oh, it's a YA book. No, it's an end of the world book. Well, yes, but...and then all heck breaks loose, and we begin barreling through the wildest, most repulsive, and freakin' SCARY book I've read in quite some time!

We've seen cinematic effects like the things that happen in this book, but never presented in quite this way, with mind-crushingly accurate descriptions of what those things might really be like! I won't say more for fear of spoilers, but suffice it to say, I can't wait for the next book and the third one. Yippeeeeee!  A great new series!

Thank goodness the author was a better writer than to sink into That!
A really good look into what WILL eventually happen in the big city.
There are good people still around,but you've gotta stumble over the filth to find them.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book, but one thing that caught my attention and stuck with me throughout this book is why the heck someone would want a g-string when in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? Come on! That's absolutely absurd. A g-string on a normal day is absurd.

Okay. Enough about the g-string. I really did enjoy reading this book. It's got zombies and vampires, and zombie birds and something I totally didn't see coming. Sylva Slasher totally lives up to her name and will not disappoint readers who love reading about zombies getting their butts kicked. And the twist, there was such a twist I didn't see coming. I'm kinda hoping there will be more about Sylva in the future.

Normally I really don't like zombies. I know its popular right now but its just not for me. That being said these books are more about survival in an apocalyptic type scenario than about the zombies (a bioweapon/military super-soldier serum goes wrong yet again! Le sigh. Haha). I do enjoy a good survivalist story so thats what convinced me to give these books a try.

If you do like zombies (or zombie-like things) or reading about a group of people trying to survive the end of the world then definitely check this out and see if it might be for you. It surprised me, thats for sure!

The characters were quite good. They all stood on their own with individual personalities and characteristics that contributed to the story. And as the reality of the situation grew grimmer and as the characters each began to accept it, the chapters sped by and became far more interesting and I gradually found myself falling into the story.

UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD faces its fate with no fear in its eyeswell, maybe some fear. Without the promise of guaranteed survival this story jolts the adrenaline and shatters the heart with its exciting take on a zombie apocalypse.

Basically a book about zombies written from the perspective of the zombie.  Not so much a dumb zombie thinking, "yum! Brains!", but, without giving spoilers, these zombies think about more than their next meal, which makes the story really interesting.  As another reviewer wrote, this isn't a scary book with a happy ending, but it's worth the read.

I really enjoyed this series. Yes, it's a zombie book, but it isn't all zombie battle, after zombie battle, after zombie battle, and there isn't some huge government conspiracy cover-up narrative. There are zombie battles, but they only last for a few paragraphs and then it goes on with the story. And they do vaguely discuss how the zombies got started, but that's not the point of the book. This is a story of survival. Joss was just a little girl when the zombie outbreak happened and this is how she lives now. Most people live in gangs or in "the colonies." Very few people live on their own like she does. This book, and the following two books, are about how people are SURVIVING in the post-zombie world. But is surviving enough? Read the book and find out!

I am a big zombie fan & really enjoyed this, so much so that I read it in one sitting! For fans of The Walking Dead & World War Z, book, not movie; here is something you will enjoy.

Believable characters & situations make for a fun & exciting read. This is the first work I have read of the author's and I am ready for more.

This is the 12 page mini comic introducing the characters and the storyline behind The Zee Brother's Zombie Exterminators for the upcoming book series.
Bit short, more than a bit odd, but as an aside if using a chromebook doesn't want to the left click to enlarge thing, but that's a computer issue not a book issue, and picked this up for quick read because read the actual story/book a while back so wanted to see what other delusions the writer had  gotten

What is the full story all about? Orgasms, Chocolate & Zombies? Just an average day for Jonah, Judas & JJ.The Zee Brothers have a strange and dangerous vocation. While some hunt rodents or pests in the dark, Jonah and Judas tackle much larger prey Zombies. Equipped with a well-loved artillery gun, DeeDee, and a much used and somewhat abused pickup truck called Sasha, the duo clear the night of undead pests, keeping the ever present threat of a Zombie Apocalypse at bay. When the slap happy pair receives an after hours call for extermination that ends in a gurgle, they head out, guns locked and catch pole loaded. It seems that an incredibly foolish developer built a high cost, gated community atop an old indian Reservation  a Reservation that soon became a graveyard and home to magic much older than the flimsy walled homes that tried to take over. Lost in this sea of new houses, an ancient artifact lay buried till the obnoxious Home Owners Association President disturbed it  and awakened the Zombies from their slumber to retrieve it.

Now its up to the Brothers to find it and lay the walking dead to rest. Along the way they meet the woman of their dreams, JJ, her magical and disco imbued dog, Xanadu, a denture wearing Zombie and a High Priest that offers a bit more danger than DeeDee can handle. Filled with pop culture nods and heroes that just don't know when to quit, its a slap happy, blood filled adventure, as the trio fights off zombies and the brothers fight each other for JJs affection.
