Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse: A Novel (2008)

I will keep this short and simple.

“[...] whether you’re fleeing violent rape gangs, remembering those lost loved ones, or daydreaming of a future where wild dogs no longer roam the streets, we hope you’ll keep making Jack Daniel’s your preferred beverage.”

If the above quote makes you smile a little, or want to grab a drink, this book is going to be right up your alley.

Victor Gischler really nailed this. The end of the world, gang rivalry juicers, booze drugs cannibals, religious nuts, machine guns, more machine guns, molotovs, piss poor beer…. and strippers.

Well, that’s it. ‘Nuff said.

If anyone wants to borrow my copy, get in line. I think there are five folks in line right now.

The story of Mortimer and his life after the world collapsed was fantastic. This is a book with adult themes so if you are put off by excessive drinking, graphic violence, and sexual references please do not read this book.

Victor Gischler shows off some serious writing skills with this novel. It is a high octane fun ride in the realm of an action movie. Given the type of novel this is a found that the characters development was fairly solid and the story had a nice flow. The real element of fun for me in this book was the very plausible picture Gischler painted of a defeated and downtrodden world.

This is not a serious book and can be enjoyed (read through) very quickly. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys non-stop action, racy humor, and Go-Go girls. ( )

It was my birthday last month and as always I got a gift card for Barnes & Noble which is just about the perfect gift. Also, as always, there were just too many books that I wanted to buy but couldn't afford and narrowing my choices down from a few hundred books to four books was a challenging task. It was a task I took on with vigor and relish though and then I realized that I shouldn't have eaten so much of that relish as it gave me stomach cramps. Anyhow, one of the books I decided upon was 'Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse'.
The title of this book alone should get some kind of award as it really catches the attention. For me, at least, a good title can do that and it's no coincidence that I have such books as 'X-Rated Bloodsuckers', 'Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters', and 'The Cannibals of Candyland' on my current reading list.
A novel requires more than a good title though and it's my pleasure to inform you that GGGOTA is a lot of fun to read. Think of it as a literary roller coaster with more twists and turns than a breakdancer on methamphetamine, with more ups and downs than a hooker's panties at a frat party, with more...well, you get the idea.
What I loved about this book was that I never knew where it was taking me next. It's unpredictable, violent, funny, disturbing, sexual, satirical, farcical, disgusting to name but a few and the sheer manic pace of the story might be enough to give your grandmother a heart attack. Above all though it is a great read. Sure, it's too far out there to win any literary awards but if you wish to read a story with all the energy of a Tarantino/Rodriguez action movie, and I'm thinking 'Planet Terror' (which was an okay movie but nowhere near as good as this novel), then this is the book to read. Highly recommended. ( )

Very enjoyable. Post apocalyptic adventure. Guns, gangs, and go go dancers..... ( )

A lot of fun. One man's search for civilisation and / or coffee. ( )
