Wow, what a twist of a book! But then you read the blurb and you know that this zombie novella won't be like anything you have read.Henry is a lovable type of character, though Sam is incredibly repulsive. Bordering, if not full speed ahead, on psychotic tendencies, this guy needs to be taken out of the world (my personal opinion).To make a long story short, Sam decides that it would be a GREAT idea to capture a female live zombie for a disgusting business venture. He gets Henry to venture out with him to Las Vegas to embark on this quest.  This results in one of the most comedic and ridiculous adventures I have ever read.The book blurb describes this as a " lunatic burn through three days in the life of Henry..." and it couldn't be more accurate.  It is non-stop action once these guys reach Las Vegas.The sarcastic type tone that is present in this novel is fitting, but sometimes overused. It worked well during some scenes and had the desired effect, but sometimes it was a little too much. It is however, gorgeously written with enough detail that I could really visualize this insanity of a trip, causing me to, in equal parts, freak out from adrenaline and anxiety as the undead came at them, or laugh uncontrollably out loud over the ridiculousness of some scenes (specifically the erratic, panicked drive in the desert - hilarious).And I give the writer props for adding in twist after twist, and not allowing me a breath to figure them out, or see them coming.Highly entertaining and quite funny, this was a great read. It was great picking up a zombie story that had all the fear factor elements of a good zombie apocalypse, but actually have some great comedy that fit with the storyline.* This novel was generously provided through Netgalley for an honest review. *
