I'm not sure what I was expecting from The Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse, but the title was amusing, so I assumed the book would follow suit. Little did I expect how on the head Nina Post would hit my humor nail.

The Last CB of the A is about a woman (Kelly Driscoll) who's been hired to track down a fallen angel who will most likely destroy Earth, but the plot is actually more of a detail—a vehicle for Post's wit, which takes center stage in this book. Usually the term "dream logic" (and so...more

I read this book and I loved it. It's funny. I laughed a lot at all the intricate jokes spread throughout the story. A real awesome job by Nina Post.

I must point out a few downfalls though. The read is very quick and easy, but some elements get dropped into the plot without explanation and it caused me to wonder whether I was the one not paying attention or the author missed a few transitions along the way. I don't think the plot is messy because I understood the main storyline. There are a lot...more

I didn't know what to think of LAST CONDO BOARD at first. I didn't even understand the title. In truth, I was scratching my head for the first few chapters. But luckily, I kept going, and this turned out to be unlike ANYTHING I've ever read before.

Nina Post has a fantastic dry sense of humor. I imagine that she's the kind of person who can tell a joke and have people stare back at her blankly, in a room full of silence - except for the small few that get her joke. Those are the ones who will be...more

Nina Post's debut novel, The Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse is a fun book, which definitely needs to be read tongue in cheek. I don't know whether it was written that way, but I think it definitely needs to be read as such. There are some flaws to the book, but they didn't lessen my enjoyment of it too much. While the reads very quickly and easily, some elements get dropped into the plot rather suddenly and without explanation. Though, on further pondering, it isn't so much that the plot is...more

As urban fantasies go, The last Condo Board of the Apocalypse has got to be one of the oddest. That is not a criticism - it is odd in a very good way. The story is both unique and very, very funny.

My one criticism of the book is the number of secondary characters - there were so many and so many of the names were similar that, at times, I found it confusing but, once i realized that the names really weren't that important, I was able to relax and enjoy this tumble down the rabbit hole or, in th...more

Please don't read this book if you don't have a sense of humour. The people who will enjoy this book the most are those people with a zany, off-kilter sense of humour.

I really loved the idea of this book. A bunch of fallen angels and monsters trying to exist within the confines of a condo. Having recently moved to a condo for the first time and now having to deal with condo regulations etc, I can see where this could become very funny. Add a kick-butt female lead and a whole lotta random and you...more

I really enjoyed The Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse. I am usually a strictly YA reader but this book was a change. The author writes with a "well what can possibly happen next" attitude. The story is based around our heroine, Kelly, a finder of lost things (paintings, monsters, fallen angels, etc.) and her hunt for a fallen angel who lives in the Amenity Hotel who is about to start the Apocalypse. This is a very light, extremely funny, quick read. There's no angst or overwrought worry. It's...more

Normally I only review novels that will be published in the near future or have just been published, but every once in a while I run across a book that I can’t resist. When I saw The Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse by Nina Post, I cracked up. Anyone who lives in a condo, or knows someone who serves on a condo board, would probably have had a similar reaction. And then I took a close look at the book cover. Needless to say I had to find out what kind of whack-a-doodle story was inside. I proba...more

I can only classify this book as fascinating. I'm surprised I have just heard of it now. It is what I have been looking for in my reading adventures revolving around fantasy. Comedy, violence, bumbling fallen angels, mystery, all into one. The angels are more like demons but isn't there a fine line between a fallen angel and a demon? The Angel of Destruction? Mere mortals would see that angel as a demon, tired guardian angels, obsessive, single-minded angels, and what the Cluck is in that snack...more

Full Review at Foil the Plot

To be honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to write this review because Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse was, by far, the strangest book I've ever read. And it wasn't just strange, it was, like, really bad acid trip strange. The entire time I contemplated banishing it to the dreaded DNF pile because I had no idea what the hell was going on. But for some reason, I couldn't. Every time I thought I wanted out, it sucked me right back in. And here's the odd thing --- t...more

How did we end up here?

Curiosity Quills, publisher of my beloved STEIN & CANDLE books, had a sale around the new year but the titles weren’t available for me to buy for my device. An email later and I had a pile of digital books in my inbox, THE LAST CONDO BOARD OF THE APOCALYPSE being one of them.

I like funky books. Sean Beaudoin is one of my favorite residents of Funky Town and his books span the gamut from total mind fuck to quirktastic. So yeah, LAST CONDO sounded a bit out there but I l...more

In The Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse, monster hunter Kelly Driscoll is hired (by the Destroying Angel of the Apocalypse) to locate a fugitive fallen angel and prevent the apocalypse. To find this angel, Kelly must search Amenity Tower a downtown high-rise that has become home to fallen angels and interdimensional creatures who fell through the galactic cracks.

Along the way Kelly meets some crazy creatures including a single purpose angel who lost seventy holy pencils when he nervously threw...more

I received this ARC through NetGalley, and stopped reading at 26%.

The book has a lot of promise. It's a wacky urban fantasy, featuring a condominium complex where fallen angels are bound, and where a board holds daily meetings to plot the demise of the world. It's laugh out loud funny at times, but chapter after chapter, it felt like an endless stream of weirdness without a coherent plot to tie everything together. Really, I can see this as a fantastic setting for short stories. But as a novel?...more
Terryann
this book is absurd and bizarre. and fun. a bounty hunter is sent to a building to hunt out a fallen angel. the angel is bound with other angels and monsters to the condo building for pissing someone off. the bounty hunter's disguises alone are worth the read. very slapstick with lots of puns and a douglas adams-ish slant to it.
Ginny Lurcock
It’s good, but it tries too hard to do too much.
