I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator has done a brilliant job with the different voices and tones, that I really felt the different personalities of the characters!
This story is absolutely crazy but the world building is done so well that it could almost be credible!
In the near future an old man creates a virus that was meant to give immortality and although it manages to do that, the virus only enhances the life and abilities of old people. This starts a war between the young and old generations that had been going on for 200 years when the book starts.
The Resistance is finally ready to release their weapon to stop the war with the Greys once and for all but it doesn't go to plan and the amount of crazyness happens that it's difficult to describe!
This book made me cringe, laugh maniacally, cringe a bit more, ponder about life and surprised me more than once! There were some parts that I felt were a bit too long and could have done with a bit more speed but it didn't affect my enjoyment that much.
The author did a brilliant job at creating a bizzarre tale that might end up being true at some point in human history! In addition there's so many twists to make your head spin several times!
And I can confirm I will never look at butterscotch the same ever again!
Thanks to the author for the audiobook and this is my honest review.

Messed up and crazy - a world where the olds (grey) and youngs are fighting for supremacy. So crazy, violent, F-ed up.

Hilarious and horrible hi jinx
If Star Wars buttsexed Palahniuk’s Pygmy on the set of Cocoon, this book would be the shit-smeared money shot. There are some minor lapses in its own internal logic, otherwise Coffin Dodgers is a fast-paced, well-executed adventure story that really revels in hilarious grotesquery.
