This was a really well done novel, it had a great concept that I enjoyed getting through this world. The characters were interesting and thought the satire element worked well overall. I hope to read more from Rob Ramirez

Well this one was a whole load of none stop crazy fun! Family RV holiday to kill the filthy rich candy tycoon! This one is just silly fun, packed full of humour, sex, blood, gore and and just general chaos! If you take everything too seriously, do not pick up this book! If you love chaos, over the top and a little bit bizarro you need this one in your life.

This book was a disappointment even though I had no expectations beyond wanting a good story.

The story was beyond absurd. The characters were all ridiculously over sexual the entire time to the point that they were either trying to rape someone or have sex during the final battle. Nobody was interesting or memorable and the storyline itself just fell flat. The apocalypse is the most boring and nonsensical one ever. This is probably the worst book I've ever read.

I hope there are no sequels and the author learns from their mistakes.

This was insane. I think there's a lot here that could be the basis of a good story, but I didn't love it.

As an Australian reader, I interpret this as satire in where Howard represents both the entire conception of the US and the orange orangutan.
From a distance, I have to admit that this narrative reflects how most other nations view the southern states.
Having said all of that, I thoroughly enjoyed the chaos and the diverse perspectives on how America ought to improve.
I appreciate the belly laughs and the brilliant razzle-dazzle glimpse into the impending Armageddon that you provided.

Wow! That was a wild, hilarious ride. The Hall family is living in an increasingly lawless society when the dad decides to take his family in a fitted out RV on a mission to kill a rich candy manufacturer. They are allied with a militant group, including Uncle Jack, and the kids have to work their own guns during the attack.
These groups really exist and it was wild watching this play out.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
