As a fan of apocalypse/post apocalypse fiction I looked forward to reading a book that looked at the lighter side of the end of the world as we know it. The main character takes the reader on a wild and humorous trip around the USA and farther that can best be described as a cross between a wooden roller coaster and a Monty Python skit. The story bounces and cajoles and has you laughing and wondering whats around the next turn.
I would have given four stars if there was more development of the story and supporting characters, I felt like something was missing but I couldn't put my finger on it.
All in all it was a good read with a fresh twist on an established subject.

I'm an avid collector of Post-Apocalyptic fiction, and as is says right in the title this book takes place during the Apocalypse, so it was not quite up my alley, but I enthusiastically dived right in. Greg Blecha has written a funny, twisted and thought provoking novel that kept you guessing, and thinking. I laughed out loud for the first time after only the first couple of pages.
The book is wild ride that takes the main character from one side of the country to the other, barely getting back on his feet before he is swept up again. The entire book is populated with interesting and quirky characters and thought provoking ideas.
This isn't a large book, it was a quick read, but I found it very enjoyable and well worth the time. I would recommend this book to anyone, not just those I know who read Apocalyptic stuff.
