When Sharon McCrumb is good, she's really good. But this book is not so great. Furthermore, it is a sequel. The first one was called "Bimbos of the Death Ray Sun" and it was far more entertaining than Zombies. Of course, it is about 20 years since I read them so I might be confusing. I just recall that the first one was funny, but the joke was long over by the 2nd one

Thanks for the explanation! I'm glad to hear it, because I was really doubting her ability.
See, I thought "Zombies" was before Bimbos, but that makes sense. What a sorry sequel though...jeez! I wonder why she's so snarky and pissed though...I mean, it's not HER fandom, is it? So why care?
Agreed that Bimbos of the Death Sun is much better. That book really didn't need a sequel.
You should give it a try, though. The fun she pokes in that one is good-natured. I don't remember enough from Zombies to recall if that was different...
Aw man, I was going to listen to that next week. Oh, well. I'm glad you saved me the trouble. Judging by what others say of Bimbos of the Death Sun, I might still check that one out. Thanks for the review, it is quite well done.
