Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Chett and Harry are two recently unemployed construction workers on their way to a weekend of beer, Southern Comfort, and frog gigging at their musty-rusted 1970's RV parked at their favorite hunting camp when they stumble on Bob, the mysterious, busty, burqa-clad, non-English speaking beauty just standing in the middle of nowhere on the side of dusty Nine Mile Cutoff in rural Bovina, Mississippi.

Then all hell breaks loose. Their favorite pond is missing. They're being chased by truck driving zombies, dirty cops, UFOs and other ne'er-do-wells. Someone stole Chett's jacked up Scottsdale four-by-four. Zombies are traipsing around their trailer, and crazy Uncle Crank is trying to feed them zombie chicken for dinner.

Aided by a classic computer nerd, a crazy man wielding a frying pan, and a space babe who gets nekkid any time someone turns out the lights, follow Chett and Harry as they battle their way across the rural countryside and ultimately save the world.

Why is their pond missing, and why did the Dodge of Death spring from the muddy crater left in its center? Who is Bob and why is she so good with shotguns? Why are they being chased by two really skinny, pale, bald, goatee-clad wierdos? What is the dirty county sheriff hiding? And will Chett and Harry ever make it out alive?

About the Author

John Allen works in advertising as the Marketing and Creative Director at a television station on the Gulf Coast and has direct experience working with brainless zombies as both clients and advertising executives. He grew up in rural Bovina, Mississippi, a town that actually had its own dirty county Sheriff (who served time in the Federal Penitentary for lying under oath), and spent most of his free time as a child climbing trees and fighting off imaginary zombies with childhood friends. When not convincing clients that their little son or daughter (much goofier looking than they realize) talking through missing teeth does not make an effective advertisement, he spends most of his free time with his two children (full of life) and his wife, another zombie because sleepless eight-month-olds have their own unique way of turning one's brain to mush.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very entertaining!, April 7, 2009

This review is from: Fried Green Zombies (Paperback)

Fried Green Zombies is a very entertaining read - it follows the (mis)adventures of a pair of slackers and their nerdish friend. And a mysterious 6ft woman who wears a black cloak...

It involves zombies, mysterious trucks, UFOs and a less-than-honest sheriff. Well written, with great humour, it'll appeal to all fans of subtle, dark humour and sci-fi/zombie fans. Well worth a read - really looking forward to the author's next book.

Aided by a classic computer nerd, a crazy man wielding a frying pan, and a space babe who gets naked any time someone turns out the lights, follow Chett and Harry as they battle their way across the rural countryside and ultimately save the world.

Why is their pond missing, and why did the Dodge of Death spring from the muddy crater left in its center? Who is Bob and why is she so good with shotguns? Why are they being chased by two really skinny, pale, bald, goatee-clad weirdos? What is the dirty county sheriff hiding? And will Chett and Harry ever make it out alive?

Fried Green Zombies is a very fast-paced action/comedy novel involving a cast of zany characters interacting at break-neck speed. Each new twist and turn brings a little more information to piece together the whole story and keep the reader glued to the page.

This review is from: Fried Green Zombies (Hardcover)

Loved the author's storytelling-with rednecks thrown in. Third book bought with new Kindle but first actually finished. A lot of fun, with aliens, zombies, and dirty cops. More than a few laughs, but some real gross-out moments as well. Well worth the money!!! Oh, and by the way, I bought the Kindle edition, which is WAY less expensive than the hardcover.
