I discovered this book just randomly the one day while on Amazon shopping for books! I’ll never forget seeing that cover, & busting into laughter! I knew instantly that I needed this book in my life, & that it’d be a riot. Let’s just say I wasn’t disappointed, and it honestly was even better than I was expecting!
The whole book is about a sweatshop in China that overworks their employees (aka young children). The workers decide to seek revenge on the cruel man that’s responsible for torturing them, and making their lives miserable. What they come to discover is that they’ve brought back a whole other world of Evil! A simple premise that honestly goes a long way, & I absolutely loved the creativity! This book had me laughing nonstop, & the artwork was just the Cherry on top! Looking for a good pick me up read for Halloween, or just ingeneral? Then look no further, and checkout Cheap Plastic Skeletons from Hell!
I saw this on sponsored ads while browsing for new ebooks and the blurb made me laugh out loud. This was a ridiculously silly, and funny read that didn’t take itself too seriously. I admit I liked the start best, when Factory King ruled over the minions in his Chinese sweatshop with an iron fist. Not the type to be oppressed, the plucky youngsters then banded together and did away with their evil boss, melting him in a vat of plastic intended for cheap Halloween toys destined for sale in the US. Now reincarnated in the toys he once sold, Factory King unleashed a new wave of terror via rampaging Halloween skeletons and other plastic toys. Unwitting employees Sean and Oakley bore the brunt of this while dealing with the Halloween merchandise as store employees.
This was hilarious stuff. One of the skeletons shouting its wrath in Chinese to Sean and Oakley, who couldn’t understand a word, was a particularly funny moment, as were the many battles with skeletons dressed as cowboys or in lingerie, etc. The accompanying pictures were a fun added touch. I’d recommend as a quick, fun Halloween read – and every time ‘ha ha ha heh heh heh’ appears would make a decent drinking game.
I picked this book up on a lark, and it's making me laugh. It's not deep. No. It is not. Don't expect character development or themes. But it's silly, and it's funny! And yes, it's about cheap plastic skeletons that come to life and attack a town on Halloween. And it's got photo collages! Overall. It's light. It's fast. It's funny. It's worth it.
