Apple Podcasts4Yo Jo KerrUnited States15 years ago - Not worth your time
I listened to the whole story and it so wasn't worth it. The beginning song was the only good thing.
Apple Podcasts1Alisadawn9768United States15 years ago - Very funny
I can't believe noone has written a review for this yet!
It's a hilarious Tongue-in-cheek story about an office who outsources zombies to work for cheap but also offers an incentive where employees can be "promoted". The theme song made me laugh every time n as I work in an office, most of the humour struck home.
It's clearly read n the recording quality is excellent ....download it now, it's a must listen!

I loved this audiobook, from the opening song, through the great scenes, to the ending song. What a hoot! Will there be a sequel? Please?
Apple Podcasts5NaloMeliUnited States16 years ago - GREAT
This is funny and well-acted by the cast. The theme song is great and reflects the humor of this audiobook. I liked the twist on office politics and enjoyed this book so much, I was done with it before I knew it. I am waiting for Mur Lafferty's next book.
