Laugh out loud fun!!!

This book was so much fun to read!! I haven’t laughed as much at a book in a long time.

The plot was simple enough but with an added twist. 5 years ago, the then President of the United States created a Space Force, it was supposed to be a serious branch of the military, but everyone eventually poked fun at it and in the end, it was filled with the “undesirables”. As the blurb says..”As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables: men and women who made too many mistakes, didn’t follow the rules, or…slept with the wrong general’s daughter. Three times. On camera. It was a mistake, okay?”. But just when Space Force is being disbanded, Aliens attack, but they attack like it’s a video game and it’s the battle royal to the death, the victors get the earth. Can the band of misfits save them all?

I really don’t want to go into the plot too much because it’s such a fun experience reading it with no forewarning! All I’ll say is go into this with no expectations at all and you will love it. It’s a tongue in cheek book and one that the author had fun with!! Filled with witty banter, great characters, wierd a&& aliens and loads and loads of fun!! I will say that it is silly at times…picture teenage humour, but that’s what made me love it all the more. It was a breathe of fresh air to read such an entertaining, funny, laugh out loud book, in a time when politics is so messed up. The author pokes fun at a lot of things and It. Was. Awesome!

In all, I loved this. I loved the characters, the immature humour (cause honestly, life is too serious at times, it’s nice to let go!!) and I even loved the aliens, they are definitely the most interesting looking ones I’ve ever read about!! Be warned though, it is gory, it is bloody (and other bodily fluidy) and it’s got lots bad language, but it’s a easy, fun and entertaining read and one I know I’ll read again.

Jeffrey Kafer, Emily Woo Zeller and Machelle Williams did an amazing job narrating this. You can tell they had fun and enjoyed doing it!! They made me enjoy it all the more because they were able to bring the characters to life and make me laugh more. I couldn’t picture anyone other than Jeffrey Kafer doing Stone because he brought across his dry humour so well. Brilliant performance!!

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.
