Chet & Floyd vs. The Apocalypse: Volume 1
Welcome to the darkest of comedies.
Chet & Floyd vs. the Volume 1 is a tribute to the anti-hero. This lightning paced, ultra-violent novel will find and tickle the blackest part of your funny bone. The big death has brought the end of most of the life on earth. The planet is like the mortally wounded, limping along as it bleeds out. Every day is colder than the last. There is no food. The humans that were spared from death’s swath are now roaming the earth, starving and decadent. Cannibalism and Nihilism rule. This was the time of Chet and Floyd.
Plunging across the apocalyptic landscape in their 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle, Chet and Floyd navigate their way through this new world. Chet, who starts the novel with ten fingers but won’t keep them all by the end of the story, is obsessed with finding morality in an environment which is anything but. Floyd is his stoic voice of reason, which isn’t saying much in a world where there isn’t any reason at all.

Insane characters.
The main characters are totally insane, it is quite a humorous story at times, and it flows quite well for the most part. Enjoyable.
It really needs reediting, as there is an excessive amount of typos, so that reduced my rating.

If you like anti-heroes then you will love this book. If you don't like anti-heroes then don't bother buying it.
If you like "heroes" that are simply heroes because they survived after the apocalypse and not because of any good deeds to help humanity that they have done, then you will like this book.
Personally, I didn't like the plot or the main characters but I had to give the book 3 stars on the basis that it is written so that you just can't put it down. And I'm not sure if I will read the sequel at this point in time.
