Summary

Bob's day is off to a bad start. He is abducted by alien blobs and is put into a zoo, while the rest of humanity is being taken to be slaughtered and turned into burgers.

He has had better Thursdays.

Bob's handler Fred befriends Bob, and the two of them try to change the legal status of humans from food to intelligent life so that the slaughter ship can be stopped and everyone returned to Earth. It is not easy as there are a lot of not-very-intelligent life forms on that ship.

What a ride!!!!

I was given a copy of this for an honest review. This is absurd, stupid and completely mental and I loved every bit of it. It’s as absurd as arguing with a pot of crab paste about where you’ve parked the car. You really feel for Bob and Fred and really root for them to win. I’d love a follow up book about their elevator business, Bob and Blob’s glass elevator lol

This book is so funny!

When Bob is picked up out of his living room and find himself on an alien planet with a blog that is the zookeeper, the zoo that he is now an attraction for. He’s not happy in win Fred the blob explains to him what he is doing there he wants to know what his Rights are and finds out he has none. This puts him in the blob who is now named Fred by Bob on an adventure to get Bob his rights. He learns that humans are transported from the Food planet, which is earth Bob is having none of it!.of it. This was such a funny book and truth is Simon course bio and history it had me laughing out loud. The NARA raider did such a great job she was awesome and did the voice is great

Blob-tastic!

Bob never dreamed he’d ever be abducted by aliens, nor did he think he’d find out that Earth is a farming planet for the said alien race of blobs.

Snatched from the comfort of his home Bob befriends one of his captors and the pair of them set off on a quest to convince the universe that Humans are the dominant species on Earth and not the Jellyfish as everyone assumes

Like all of Simon Carr’s novels, this one is full of funny dialog and clever observations which combined with the quirky characters is a darn good read / listen.

If you haven’t read any of Simon’s stuff then this is not a bad place to start as it kicks off the Apocalypse Blockers series which takes an ‘Avenger’s Assemble’ style by introducing the main characters in their own stand-alone novels before combining them into their own super team.

Don’t. Just don’t.

Without doubt the worst narration I have ever (tried) to listen to. Don’t bother honestly don’t.
