5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing short of brilliant!

I don't generally read a book more than once. This book was an exception to the rule.

John, Chris, and Erik are the focal point of the Dumb White Husband series and I can't think of a more likable trio to follow in a series. Each character is relatable, witty, and unique in their own way.
This story doesn't rely on a graphic gross-out writing style to fill pages. It relies on perfect pacing, hilarious dialogue, and a unique cast of characters that each bring their own special part to the story.

Laughs at every turn with the perfect mix of downtime and action. There are even a few serious moments to pull on your heart strings.

If this book comes out on audio, it will definitely have a listener.

Solid 5 of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the Zombie Heap
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017

"John punched the thing across the mouth. The creature’s teeth flew from the rotting jaw in a single piece and landed on the floor a few feet away. Aside from losing its teeth, the creature seemed unfazed by the punch and dove into John’s neck. Weak muscles worked the jaws as it tried to chew into John’s throat. Disgusted, frightened and ticklish, John laughed as he screamed obscenities at the man that lie on top of him. “Haha, get off of meeheheh, you freehehehak.” He rolled out from under his attacker and scrambled back on all fours. He put his hand to his neck. There was no blood, no bite mark or even a hickey, but the entire area felt disgusted and embarrassed by the whole ordeal."

I'm not sure what the extent of Funny Zombie Apocalypse genre is, but this book stands at the top of it.

As an added bonus, the passage about men and sports is best thing ever written about the subject.

My introduction to Benjamin Wallace, and it was great. The story and his style of writing were exactly what I was looking for.

As sick of zombie stories as I am, this was a breath of fresh air. I loved the three friends and their interactions with one another. I liked that most of the zombies were easily dealt with so that the story really focused on the friends. Now I'm on to more by Wallace.

I have had this book in my kindle since October last year and am kicking myself for not reading it sooner! Loved it. It was funny, fun, and kept me turning the page. I'm a "Walking Dead" fan, so I really wanted to see how the ending turned out in "Dads versus Zombies" Stephen King says, "It's not the ending you should care about, it's the journey." And Benjamin takes you on a mesmerizing journey throughout the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed this book. One of the few without the primary characters as a special ops guy who is undoubtedly prepared for the zombies! I found it refreshing, entertaining, and well-written. The dads are typical suburban professional types thrown into a situation they are not ready to accept, much less prepared to survive. One of the dads, John, will drive you to distraction but somehow make you laugh. If you're looking for a good, entertaining read you have picked the right book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transcending scary and gross, because they're too cliché
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2014

Of all the zombie apocalypse books ever written, this one rises well above scary and gross - it goes full idiot. It's as dumb as it is funny. And yet, you find yourself cheering on the idiots as they try to save themselves against what should be insurmountable odds.

Wholeheartedly recommended if you either already love the Dumb White Husband cast, or if you're simply looking for a fresh take on the "rising of the dead" scenario.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh out loud - but read book 2 first
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2019

I never read funny books, usually mystery books. But this book was so fun! I love John!! It's a laugh out loud fun book that makes me want to start the next one right away! I hope they keep coming. One caution … read book 2 first, they are out of order and book 2 Dad's vs the World should be read first.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much laughter, but it only hurt a little.

It's here. The undead are walking the Earth, turning everyone in their path to zombies. You are still among the living and the only other living people you can find are those you hate the most. Finding the path to safety while keeping your least favorite people alive is going to be an adventure....when all of you are dumb white husbands, it's going to be hilarious. This is a very fun read and a great companion book to The Great Big Book of Dumb White Husband. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars HOA rules could be the death of you.

HOAs, the bane of outside the box thinkers. Add in three dads who are friends/hate each other and the zombie apocalypse, you get this funny, insane and gory book.
I loved it and hated it at the same time, which is slightly odd. John was the most annoying of the bunch and I'd have been tempted to throttle him. Great story, full of disasters, monsters and utter havoc.
I enjoy these books from Benjamin Wallace just for the sheer amount of times they make me laugh out loud.

Brilliantly witty, satirical take on the Z theme. Fantastic characters on a whirlwind horror adventure through a zombie infected land. There isn't an abomination out there that could compete with their bickering.
