About this listen
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the mall, rushed a worker, named Steve, who was sick of you all. From Doris to Karen, and that pest, Creepy Santa, Steve wanted to clock them with a big, glass decanter. With the help of an elf, her clothes quite revealing, Steve finished his shopping with much a mixed feeling. After a beer or two, and he’d bought all his presents, Steve went to a house with a marijuana essence. Along with his buddies, their names Dave and Spike, the three amigos partied with beer and ganja alike. When they woke in the morning, their memory all hazy, the neighbours were outside acting all crazy. After some time the truth would be heard. They'd been in a coma, and it was January Third. While they were sleeping, all was not well. Zombies rose up and it all went to Hell. Now for our heroes, they're getting out of the city. But when it comes to these three, it's bound to go... bad.

It was the perfect escape from the harshness of everyday life. But when a malicious hacker takes control of the game, a new nightmare begins, far worse than Matt and his friends could have ever imagined.

But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Overall a decent story. MC's buddies had me wanting to strangle them and the MC for putting up with them. The performance is great except for the side character voices, which were bad.

A hilariously chaotic twist on holiday madness!
Craig Kimber’s It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Is Cancelled is a hilariously chaotic twist on holiday madness, and David Winter’s narration keeps the energy high and the laughs coming. The quirky writing is packed with unexpected turns, and the line from the synopsis— "While they were sleeping, all was not well. Zombies rose up and it all went to Hell" —sets the tone perfectly for this festive, undead romp. If you’re in the mood for holiday cheer mixed with disaster, this is a wild ride worth taking!

zombies on christmas
I was able to sense Craig Kimber's comedy through the audiobook. This book reminded me of Shaun of the Dead but with stoners. The characters in the book party on Christmas Eve only to wake up later and to find humans not living. The characters would find themselves in situations where they would easily toss each other to the side if it meant that they could get laid or stoned. Those parts were my favorite.
I wanted to really like the story and I feel like if I were to read it I would be able to get more humor out of the book, but with the narrators voices some of them sounded very similar. I had to turn down the speed of the book so I could grasp the different voices between the characters.

My kind of zombie novel
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Is Cancelled by Craig Kimber is sort of like if Shaun of the Dead was an 80s-style sex comedy mixed with a little bit of Mad Max. A group of no-hopers manage to dodge the zombie apocalypse by being too drunk and stoned. Getting smashed on Christmas Eve, they wake a week and a half later to find things have gone a bit zombie.
Steve, along with his best mates Dave and Spike, wake to a world where zombies are on the street and doing the usual – trying to kill everyone who isn’t a zombie.
In their rush to get out of the city and to safety, they recruit buxom elves fresh from Santa’s grotto, an American cowboy, and a slowly growing cast of hangers-on as they navigate the minefield of zombies and try to dodge a roving band of perverts dead set on making them unwilling contestants in their human vs zombie fight club.
It’s like the only ones the zombie plague spared were the worst of humanity. Steve and his mates fall into this, happy to chuck each other under the bus if it means a chance of getting laid, stoned, or both.
Steve probably has it together the most out of the band of misfits. Spike is like a more-stoned version of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, and Dave wouldn’t be out of place in a “Carry On” movie.
For me, I found the narration by David Winter was a little flat. I get that the characters are all stoners or losers to some degree, but some of them just sounded brain dead. A little more variety in tone or a change of energy could have lifted the performance, especially in the more chaotic moments. The production quality, however, was excellent, with no noticeable background noises or repeated lines.
Overall, this was my kind of zombie novel. I enjoy absurd situations that escalate in ridiculousness, and I’m a fan of humorous end-of-the-world stories. It’s crass, unapologetically politically incorrect, but a fun, silly zombie romp that was an easy listen for me.

If Shaun of the Dead was coming off a major drug bender
First and foremost I received this copy for free for review purposes. Now on to the good stuff.
If you are easily offended, if you do not like saucy language, or if you are unable to fathom the delight that is a British sense of humor, get out now, this book is NOT for you.
Ok, all the prudes gonna scampering for the hills?
Great!
This was a fun romp of a zombie apocalypse story. Was there anything novel or unique to it? Well a few things certainly existed but they lie in the lands of spoilers so I’ll give it a pass and leave it to you listeners to find them out. Some fun and delightful Easter eggs for fans of good and classic British comedy shows. Performance of the reader was great and I even adapted to Dave’s god awful squeaky voice eventually (per the narrator he’s based on a real person who actually does sound like that so…. *shrugs*). If you are in the mood for an entertaining story that doesn’t overstay its welcome and enjoy some proper idiocy from your main cast then I cannot recommend this book more for a listen.
Cheers!
