Dads Versus Zombies Reviews

  These Fathers don't know best
  
  I very much enjoy both the tone and style of this author's writing. Nomadic Warriors had me in stitches. This has a lot of the same feel in places, but in other places it had the sensibility of a straight up zombie apoc story. These Fathers don't know best. They stumble and bumble through one ill conceived plan to another. As I say though, this is not a one joke book. The action gets intense at times and the zombie action is fast and furious. The author never leaves you hanging and soon, our heroes are once more on their way, if not by their wits then at least by dumb luck. A good book and a fun read.

  I mean, yeah! This book was fun! Judging by the title, it would seem like a generic zombie apocalypse story. And it totally is. But instead of generic gushy affection and “let’s stick together and get through this” characters, it’s 3 dudes who hate each other. Really. The amount of times I read “Shut up, ___” really shows the different dynamic of this story.
  
  The ending was interesting. I guess it has to be, since there are 3 more stories after this one. I’ll tell you that much.
  
  This book was very easy and fun to read, I recommend it!

  HOAs, the bane of outside the box thinkers. Add in three dads who are friends/hate each other and the zombie apocalypse, you get this funny, insane and gory book.
  I loved it and hated it at the same time, which is slightly odd. John was the most annoying of the bunch and I'd have been tempted to throttle him. Great story, full of disasters, monsters and utter havoc.
  I enjoy these books from Benjamin Wallace just for the sheer amount of times they make me laugh out loud.

  My introduction to Benjamin Wallace, and it was great. The story and his style of writing were exactly what I was looking for.
  
  As sick of zombie stories as I am, this was a breath of fresh air. I loved the three friends and their interactions with one another. I liked that most of the zombies were easily dealt with so that the story really focused on the friends. Now I'm on to more by Wallace.

  Brilliant
  
  Honestly thought this book would be so-so, how wrong was I. If you like your humour dark, and calling your friends idiots or worse is your way of showing you care, then you will love this book. Not going to give anything away, but this book stays brilliant all the way to the end, there is no let up. Seriously, READ THIS BOOK

  He delivers once again
  
  Benjamin Wallace is one of my favorite authors. His stories are action packed with a campy hilarity. As expected Dad's vs Zombies doesn't disappoint. Great characters with a fast paced plot, a fun romp through the zombie apocalypse.

  John, Chris, and Erik live in the typical suburban neighborhood where their biggest problems are the HOA and it's ridiculously strict rules and whether or not they should get along. But all that changes when these husbands return home from a night of bowling to find the neighborhood taken over by zombies. In Dumb White Husbands vs. Zombies: The Zomnibus we follow these husbands as they learn to accept the fact that the dead have indeed returned and that their suburban lifestyles are no longer safe.
  
  John, Chris, and Erik are pretty much the stereotypical middle-aged, suburban, white, husbands, they work 9-5, Monday through Friday so that they can stay home on the weekends and work on their beautifully landscaped yards, BBQ with the family, and complain about the newest HOA rules. Each of them thinks their house is the best, their job is the hardest, and their families are better than your families. But when the zombie apocalypse comes knocking on their door all become pretty equal.
  
  They all become zombie food, rather they all find themselves trying to prevent themselves from becoming zombie food. But like any sane person, it takes them a little while to accept the fact that the zombie apocalypse is in fact happening. Each one of the husbands has their own way of dealing with the living dead, but the one thing they all agree on, is the fact that they are better off together.
  
  Dumb White Husbands vs. Zombies: The Zomnibus is a beautiful and hilarious look into what the zombie apocalypse would actually look like. Benjamin Wallace does a great job of not only giving us zombies in all their horrid glory, but giving us real life as these men are faced with a reality they thought would never happen. In this week long tale they face more than zombies. They face crazy humans, their own pasts, their weaknesses and their bleak futures. The story is captivating and kept me laughing from page one to page 349!
  
  With the way that Benjamin Wallace approaches this book you can't help but fall in love and feel personal attachment to each of his characters. In fact I can see John, Erik and Chris as some of my friends. And I think it's that connection that makes this book so freaking awesome. You can't help but live it, see it, feel it, this life could be yours.
  
  Benjamin Wallace painted such a vivid picture that I saw the story as a movie in my mind. If you are a fan of Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead then this is an absolute must for you. Dumb White Husbands vs. Zombies: The Zomnibus has it all, comedy, action, story, great characters, and of course fantastic zombies.

  Surprisingly good buddy/comic/zombie novel
  
  The original Everyday Crap was pretty average. I liked the characters but the situations they were placed in seemed a bit pat and cliche. The same characters forced to work together to survive a zombie apocalypse made for a much more entertaining novel. Rarely draggy, often tense, and very funny. This novel should be filmed.

  I fully expected the humor that abounds in Dads vs. Zombies; it's Benjamin Wallace's stock in trade, and he handily brings the hilarity as he always does. What took me entirely by surprise were the genuinely moving moments that carried MCs John, Erik, and Chris (and even fourth-wheel Austin) beyond being mere foils for comedy and elevated them to true examples of how devoted husbands and fathers would respond to their families being thrown into life-threatening disaster. His characters bond wonderfully and touchingly throughout their adventures, though they never lose the snark or their dude-ish antagonism...the poker party scene is an amazing moment, as are moments when the boys find themselves recognizing the gravity of their dire situation and what it means for their wives and children. And the horror-action is thoroughly pulse-pounding and sometimes dissolves into the uproarious as the ill-equipped Dads fight their way to survival. Bravo, Mr. Wallace, for creating such a complex and entirely satisfying genre-bending read!

  John punched the thing across the mouth. The creature’s teeth flew from the rotting jaw in a single piece and landed on the floor a few feet away. Aside from losing its teeth, the creature seemed unfazed by the punch and dove into John’s neck. Weak muscles worked the jaws as it tried to chew into John’s throat. Disgusted, frightened and ticklish, John laughed as he screamed obscenities at the man that lie on top of him. “Haha, get off of meeheheh, you freehehehak.” He rolled out from under his attacker and scrambled back on all fours. He put his hand to his neck. There was no blood, no bite mark or even a hickey, but the entire area felt disgusted and embarrassed by the whole ordeal.
  
  I'm not sure what the extent of Funny Zombie Apocalypse genre is, but this book stands at the top of it.
  
  As an added bonus, the passage about men and sports is best thing ever written about the subject.

  This is a book about the typical every day crap that you go though plus zombies, which turns out to be a wonderful bonding experience. All in all, it is a fun read. Nothing too deep or meaningful, other than perhaps poking fun at some of the more ridiculous aspects of suburban life. Other than that, it is just a lot of fun to read.

  An unexpectedly excited, fun read. Who knew our "dumb white husbands" from such books as "Dumb White Husbands vs Halloween" had it in them to not only survive a zombie apocalypse, much less fight their way across the countryside in search of their families?

  I liked this book, but I can't seem to decide if the sharp tonal shift between this and the previous one is good or bad. So take this rating as more of confusion on my end than a reflection of the writing.

  omg, that was so much fun to read. every line was a clever quip. not only that, the book managed to stay hilarious and light-hearted even through its touching moments. it also supports my theory that the best-prepared and paranoid people help lucky people get even luckier.

  This was really, really funny, sometimes in a slapstick kind of way. I recommend it if you like zombies and get a bit tired of them being taken so seriously all the time.

  WOW! I loved this book. Something fresh for the zombie genre. Three bickering dumb, white husbands defending themselves vs. Zombies. I look forward to investing in more of Ben Wallace's books.
