    It’s kind of like the Snakes on a Plane of the literary world.

    Great name, funny enough idea, but I have no real interest in seeing how it’s been executed.

    I was mainly just enjoying the memories of drinking Zombies over the years (especially that time in Berlin), but regarding the book you’re right. I gave it to Jay as a present and then realised that if someone gave it to me as a present I’d find it funny for about five minutes then never finish it.
