Fun, Entertaining & Addictive

First, make sure you're not eating while listening to this series because these blue nudists' zombies are just nasty. Second, just when you think you've read and heard it all in the zompoc genre, Javan Bonds throws in a new and brilliant twist. Third, I never thought killing off characters can be funny. Seriously, Bonds is incredibly creative and hilarious, with phenomenal imagination that captivating his readers/listeners.

The action and gore ratchet up in the Zombie Oasis, the fourth edition of the Still Alive series. The point-of-views shift between a few of the main protagonists, allowing the readers/listeners to connect with the characters fully. Mo is still the hero, and he continues to make us laugh with his politically-incorrect thought and dialogue.

A stellar performance by S.W. Salzman, his portrayal of the characters and their colourful personalities, was flawless. Kudos to both author and narrator!

A zompoc like no other

If you are looking for a zombie book full of dark (black) humour, naked blue zombies who attack en masse, then this is the book for you.

Some terrific laugh out loud moments - action from the first minute to the last and characters you just can't help liking

Highly recommend (but not for the faint hearted...LOL)

The screenwriter is not nice

For books into the series and it just keeps getting better.
A lot of blood and gore in this one and zombies getting shot in places I would rather not think about and some very strange deaths that are unbelievable bizarre and shocking.
I am starting there is some very nasty and cruel about the screenwriter.
You meet some new cast members which adds a plot to the ever growing story of Mo and co and it’s just as much fun if not more fun than the last three I would 100% recommend this book to anyone that likes zombie adventures.

Giggle Snort Worthy

Note: This is Book 4 in the series and it really does work best if you’ve read the first 3.

It was fun and had me snort laughing at inappropriate moments. It wasn’t my favorite of the series so far though. I think that is because the first half of the book spends time kind of recapping what other people are doing and also brings in some new characters that I think will be important later in the series. The second half returns us to Mo’s fumbling hands where I felt comfortable just being myself and laughing at his commentary on life.

These stories are full of juvenile humor, true, but also humor that pokes fun at life’s ‘isms’ (racism, sexism, ageism, teratophobia, homophobia, etc.). That makes me laugh because we all know people with hangups and these books show just how silly those hangups are in the face of cannibalistic nudists. Sometimes the grundge talk (how gooey those zombies really are) goes a little far for me so I don’t recommend eating while listening to this book.

Mo’s little Zombie Island (really Guntersville Island) is coming along well and the residents are in such a good place that they want to bring in more survivors. Mo must assemble a crew to take the pirate ship Viva Ancora out on a hunt. The story does leave us on a cliff hanger with the crew selected and the ship ready to sail. The crew includes Mo’s older brother, Easy, who makes me laugh because he’s such a studly dunce. Smokes and the best prepared guy in the wheelchair (with his monkey Mary) will be going as well. Hammer and Crow will also be joining them. Turns out Crow can cook far more than boring fish, proving Mo’s theory that she makes such a disappointing dish just to irritate him.

The ladies get a little more page time, but pretty much they are mothers, wives, and romantic interests. And the story pokes fun at that over used trope too. Still, I think the ladies have more to contribute. Aka (the engineer) and Easy do get married (and Crow made a scrumptious cake for the wedding). Mo gets some time with his love, even if she’s upset that he plans to go out into danger on this new mission. Mo’s mom puts in several appearances, all being motherly (especially about grammar and swearing).

All around, it was a fun addition to the series even if it wasn’t the best. 4/5 stars.

The Narration: S. W. Salzman was a lot of fun as the narrator for this book. I feel like he enjoys giving this series a voice. His voice for Mo is still my favorite, being a heavy Alabama accent. He also does well with all the female voices. I liked his version of the serial killer from Silence of the Lambs, who kinda gets a cameo in this story. The pacing was perfect and there were no tech issues with the recording. 5/5 stars.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own.

Well another fine read by Mr Bonds but why oh why can’t it be longer. Awesome graphic scenes and really you are changing our view on peevees or blunatics .
I’m loving our protagonist Mo he develops more and more in each book ( but he is still a lazy ass)Thanks for making me want more.

Hell Yes...

Javan Bonds is definitely a writer to watch... His storytelling is a winner!! If Mo and the rest of the cast keeps this up, I will find it difficult to stop laughing...
