Pretty fun. Not my favorite Christopher Moore, but still entertaining. I feel like this particular book rambled on a bit in the middle; the beginning was quite engaging and I really enjoyed the end! If you're looking for a light, silly, Christmas related book, this is the one for you.

It wasn't the best book I've ever read, but it was just what I needed at this time. Laugh out loud funny at times, and a book that doesn't take itself seriously (there are talking fruit bats and zombies, for crying out loud) but for once I didn't figure the book out before the ending. I will definitely read more of Christopher Moore's books, especially when I need a great laugh.

I almost gave up on reading this book. I just couldn't find the time to sit down and get past the first chapter, but I am so glad I did. I enjoyed this book. What is better than Christmas zombies with battle cries as catchy as "first we feast then ikea"?
Very fun little read.

I never read Christopher Moore before. This was funny but got a little long. Lots of funny one-liners. All the characters are enjoyable especially the pot-head cop. A small town gets taken over by zombies who want to eat brains and then shop at IKEA on Christmas eve due to an angel who is not the brightest halo of the bunch. Definitely enjoyable, I'll be looking for more of his books.

I've never read any of Moore's other books, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect but this was enjoyable tale with a number of genuinely funny scenes and observations.
If you've ever wondered what makes a zombie rise, you can find out here.

Ugh, yeah, I read a Xmas-themed book around Xmas. And you know what? It was quality. Christopher Moore quality, which is better than "quality" for the hoi polloi of authors.

Xmas zombies. WIN.
