Great White Sharks Attack the White House! The Federal Government is behind on its loans and Chinese President Xi Jinping wants his money. Having brought members of the China Task Force together in the White House for a meeting, Jinping, with the help of weather control and PETA, unleashes genetically modified great white sharks in an effort to force President Obama and the C.T.F. to make the tough decisions on how to meet the dear communist's commands. Can the C.T.F. escape the wrath of Red China and the great white killers, or will Obama be forced to disband the government and bring the country to brink of anarchy? Paul and Thomas (the writers of G.W.H., not a folk group) have weaved a wicked tale of governments run amuck in this "grindhouse" novella. With elements of "South Park" meets "Sharknado" meets "Olympus has Fallen" meets "White House Down" meets other movies/TV shows featuring charismatic black presidents, G.W.H. illustrates just how far politicians can be pushed as they work to survive the horror of the ocean's greatest murderers. America has bills to pay and China's "loan sharks" are ready to collect that debt in blood. These sharks don't see Red or Blue-they are equal opportunity eaters. (via Goodreads)
My Review:
I need to start this review by saying that this author is kinda quirky, and it comes out in his books. This was really a "Scary Movie" version of politics. There were so many cultural and political references that I know I missed some. I have run for office in my town, and I could relate to some of the political jokes. There are definitely some borderline jokes about other countries that the author could have left out of the book. I do want to see a Hello Kitty boat though. I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review from OrangeBerry Book Tours, however all opinions are my own.
