Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse -- Victor Gischler
(2008) Pg. 324
Cut to the Chase: 4 out of 5
Babes, booze, boobs, and guns is what Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse is all about. It's also about cannibals, bandits, crazy transvestites, the end of the world, and an insurance salesman who's apparently secretly a bad ass. After ten years hiding away in the mountains of Tennessee, Mortimer Tate decides to venture out into the post-apocalyptic world where-- much to his surprise-- society has survived. Or, something sort of like a society in some sort of strange male fantasy. The quote on the cover states: "Part Christopher Moore, Part Tarantino..." (James Rollins). I'm not sure about Christopher Moore, but if you're a fan of Tarantino, you should be all over this book.
Overall, the writing was quick, amusing, and strangely honest in certain places and complete (male) fantasy in others. Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse, with it's roller coaster plot line and a crazy cast of characters, would be an amusing summer read. So, while your mom is reading Nora Roberts on the beach, you can be reading Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse.
