There's nowhere to hide! The killer tomatoes are everywhere!

Perfect Choices

When the powers that be made the choice of who should write the novelization of ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES, they chose the perfect author for the job! Jeff Strand was the perfect choice, he understands the humor of the film and wrote a great novelization. When the powers that be made the choice of who should perform the audiobook, they chose the perfect narrator for the job! Joe Hempel gave what listeners have come to expect as far as a fantastic reading but his sing alongs is what really set him apart in his performance. Joe Hempel singing Puberty Love is so jaw dropping I nearly took a star away from the story because Strand obviously should have written in another 13 pages of Puberty Love lyrics throughout the book. Listeners obviously are gonna feel a bit disappointed not getting Joe Hempel singing Puberty Love more, but then I realized that Strand had not heard how unbelievable the singing of Puberty Love by Joe Hempel would be or he would have certainly added more singing of the song throughout the book. Hindsight is 20/20 so decided to not hold that against Strand.

This is the craziest story I’ve ever listen to. It’s definitely different. The narrator did a good job of delivering the story and it’s craziness. I have actually seen the movie and this book is just as odd and amusing.

BRILLIANTLY HILARIOUS

I was afraid this audiobook had peaked in the prologue, cause it was just that freaking funny, but no. It stays funny, and I'm currently texting ppl to recommend they listen to it. Loved the movie, and loved this novelization!

Great action adventure

Giant, sentient tomatoes vs a giant squid! Action, adventure, bad music. Who could ask for anything more?

If Mel Brooks wrote horror

Such a fun listen. Joe Hempel did a terrific job of keeping the listening experience infused with energy, charm and wit. He hit the perfect tone and pace to match the book's Mel-Brooks-style of comedy, callbacks and self deprecation. Tons of pop-culture references by the author added to the fun.

What a perfect match!

As soon as I heard the announcement that Strand was writing the novelization for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, I knew it was going to be great. His mix of horror and humor is perfect for this story. And then I listened to it… and it’s even better than I expected! The way Strand takes this and makes it his own all while being faithful to the absolute crazy plot is top notch. I laughed out loud many times and Joe Hempel added even more to it with his spot on narration. I can’t even imagine how much fun he had in the booth with this one. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic!

I loved Attack of the Killer Tomatoes by Jeff Strand. The book had everything - humor, satire, singing alone and a sing-along, blood, gore, romance, lots more of absurdity, squids, and of course, killer tomatoes. It was a wonderful afternoon distraction and I never before laughed out loud so much while listening to a book. The narrator Joe Hempel was perfect in his performance of the zany characters and wacky situations in the story. I am certain that his performance made the hilarious book 100x better in every way! Highly recommend this book for an afternoon of farcical fun!

Puberty Love!

This has to be the silliest, most absurd book that I have read in a long, long time. But, I loved it! Full of cheesy dialogue, ludicrous characters and horrible singing, this book is a great homage to those 1950's sci-fi films I grew up watching.

The author has done a great job paying tribute to the movie, but has added his own twisted sense of humor to make this wildly entertaining.

The narrator is one of my favorites and his performance is absolutely perfect for this book. My only complaint is that I don't have a full version of the song "Puberty Love" to listen to, complete with musical accompaniment!

Not as much singing as I was expecting

Hilarious! Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is completely transformed into comic perfection by Strand. This novel is a genre-maker that incorporates elements of novelization, premise enlargement, close reading, and spoof of a spoof. The added potential of the written word and the lack of financial restrictions allow for the full development of all the comedy that the film never quite manages to deliver.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Tomato Meta Movie Fun

I laughed out loud many, many times. The audiobook takes full advantage of the medium by opening with a sing along and breaks the fourth wall. It's good. I received a copy of this book free of charge for the purpose of an unbiased review.
