biblio_lore's review against another edition
1.0
I should start off by saying that with the title "Zombie Bitches from Hell", my expectations were a little on the low side. If anything, I came to this book with the idea that it would be a good pulpy read and nothing more and I certainly wasn't expecting it to be the next book to change the world. Sadly, what should have been a decent trashy read was hampered by a main character that is totally unlikable. This is a first person narrative book and the main character is attempting to get to the love of his life via hot air balloon while the women of the world fall prey to a zombie condition that turns them into zombies who then turn on the men of the world. The premise is hilarious and even more so when the zombie virus/disease/bacteria gets its nickname from Lady Gaga. By all rights, this really should have been a good read but the story is being delivered by Kent who embodies a fairly sexist and at time racist viewpoint that gets less and less forgivable as the book goes on. One might make the argument that you could guess that the book would have some kind of sexist overtones from the title alone but it's pretty bad when you have already come to a book like this expecting for it to be pretty offensive and it still manages to hit you below the bar of trashy tastelessness. Again, this is a huge disappointment because the gore descriptions are visceral and actually really funny a lot of times too. It could have made a good book great but in this case, it makes bad book a little tragic.

An ok read but a little repetitive and at times the narrative does not flow well.
