FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Zombie Turkeys by Andy Zack was an interesting book, to say the least. This genre isn’t one that I usually read and the only reason I decided to check it out is because of what is happening in the world right now. That being said it did take my mind off of what is going on but this wasn’t one of my favorites. Right from the start of the book it reminded me of the movie “Free Birds” except for the fact that this book in for adults. I wasn’t the biggest fan of narrators because I found it hard to tell the difference between all characters in the story because they all sounded so similar. I found it hard to listen to this one as I was working because I couldn’t focus on what I was doing. There were parts that made me laugh and I am currently listening to the next books in the series and that review will be up next Saturday. I did think that this book was super rushed and at times I wish it wasn’t so rushed. The one thing about this book that made me wonder is even though this situation couldn’t really happen but I wonder if something like this could happen because of the genetic modifying products we use in the real world. If you are looking for something totally different I would pick up a copy of this book and check it.

Synopsis: Sam Melvin, an underachieving e-reporter from a small town, changes forever when he meets turkeys that won’t stay dead. You can shoot ’em, chop ’em, burn ’em — they come back stronger. The undead plague of poultry spreads uncontrollably, rocking the whole country. As Sam tracks down the zombie turkeys and how to eradicate them, his editor, Lisa Kambacher, nags him to turn his stories and expenses in on time. During their years of working together, Lisa has mellowed into an irascible pinchpenny. Lisa snipes at Sam for plebeian writing but uses her intelligence to pursue the lucrative carnivorous turkey story. Sam and Lisa ricochet across the landscape, tracking turkeys and fleeing the bloodthirsty hordes. Careening from shell-shocked grocery store owners fighting turkeys crawling out of refrigerators, to machine-gunning turkey farmers, to secret militia, Sam and Lisa doggedly report. Throughout the turkey apocalypse, they dare ravaged cities, plow knee-deep in gore and corpses, and upload streams of zombie turkey video news to the world. With paranoid militias clashing with the federal government and unkillable turkeys, Sam and Lisa doubt their ability to survive. Sam and Lisa have no superpowers. If you have a heart condition or lack humor, you should not listen to Zombie Turkeys, no matter how much you want to find out what happens.

Thank you for reviewing Zombie Turkeys and hosting my book on your blog. I’m sorry it wasn’t quite your cup of tea, but I realize humor is very idiosyncratic and not everyone will laugh at it.
The very presence of a ‘meh’ review validates that all the reviews are genuine and not created by some review farm somewhere.
Thanks again!
Andy Zach
