It was brilliant and gross and hilarious and heartwarming and then hilarious again. I literally couldnt put it down. For what its worth, the only book before this one that I read in one sitting without a break was Dances with Wolves. Dont judge me. - James Breakwell (@XplodingUnicorn), author of Only Dead on the Inside: A Parents Guide to the Zombie ApocalypseIf you have ever worked with someone who wanted to punch in the throat, this is the book for you.
