One of the DUMBEST BOOKS I have ever tried to read! EVER! Way too weird for me and I did not find it to be funny at all. Some reviewer said there is something funny on just about every page. I tried flipping through it randomly and sadly found it not to be the case.
I love end of the world, horror, monster and zombie books and wrongly assumed this would be similar but it is not at all.
I really wanted to like the book and have been on a wish list for ages. But sadly somethings are just not worth waiting for. This book is one of those things. I know a lot of people will insist on finding this out for themselves, but just a preview of the first 20 pages was all I could get through. And on those pages: a girl breaks into snakes, which later become a monster created of various meats (sausage, a turkey, venison tongue, etc) , a door knob transforms into a flaccid penis, a basement that fills with poop, and a boombox that plays "Here I Go Again", by Whitesnake is the stopping power. If this sounds hilarious to you, by all means rush out and get the book. If it sounds stupid, save yourself the time, money and hassle.
For such a highly followed internet sensation I was greatly disappointed in it and suprised that so many people could find this quality reading material.
