  <default_description>Mortimer Tate was a recently divorced insurance salesman when he holed up in a cave on top of a mountain in Tennessee and rode out the end of the world. &lt;I&gt;Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse&lt;/i&gt; begins nine years later, when he emerges into a bizarre landscape filled with hollow reminders of an America that no longer exists. The highways are lined with abandoned automobiles; electricity is generated by indentured servants pedaling stationary bicycles. What little civilization remains revolves around Joey Armageddon's Sassy A-Go-Go strip clubs, where the beer is cold, the lap dancers are hot, and the bouncers are armed with M16s.&lt;P&gt;Accompanied by his cowboy sidekick Buffalo Bill, the gorgeous stripper Sheila, and the mountain man Ted, Mortimer journeys to the lost city of Atlanta -- and a showdown that might determine the fate of humanity.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Do I really need to say anymore? I mean does anything else need to be said about a book called <strong> Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse </strong>. Frankly that alone should be enough. I was sold and so should you.<br/><br/>For those still reading though, here's the synopsis: This is story of a man named Mortimer who...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26578162">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Neither exceeded my expectations nor disappointed. That said, my expectations weren't that high to begin with. <br/><br/>There's a lot of action and it moves quickly, although the direction and motivations for that movement are a little suspect. In short, there isn't really that much of a story, m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64594768">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good book with lots of action and a great plot.  His references to music and other contemporary ephemera made this a very real book, too.  I like dystopian novels and this one seemed pretty accurate with what might happen if society breaks down in the near future.  <br/><br/>There are even a few...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75494619">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[From beginning to end, if felt like I was reading an upcoming Tarantino film.  The characters were the most colorful cast I've seen since early Charlie Huston, the dialogue had the bite of a chainsaw, and the violence was extreme and comical.<br/><br/>Anyone who has read Cormac McCarthy's The Road...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41750117">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[How can you resist a title like 'Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse'.  More, how can a book live up to such a title?<br/><br/>Somehow, this book lives up to its name and more.
