Well, I liked this one better than the first one, however there were a couple of things I didn't.First, for being a kids book, there was a decent amount of indecent language: Zack's dad: "Damn these antiquated machines" and lots of use of the word hell - hell-bent, snowball's chance in hell, and I believe just using the word once, but I can't really remember other than I know there was another instance besides the other two examples. Now, I don't normally care about this stuff, and I'm trying to keep in context that Andy Griffith's lives in Australia and Australians might not be as annoyingly obnoxious about "bad language" as adults are in America. However, Zack's Gran was a stickler for appropriate language, so it surprises me there is more than one occasion of "foul language" in a book that is meant for kids.Second, and also in regards to the language business... the Uranus joke was just so overused in this book. It wasn't funny the first time, it wasn't funny the 150th time. Every time someone mentioned the planet, like "I can see Uranus from here!" Zack's Gran would go "Language!" and they'd say "I meant the planet!" Every. Single. Time. I wish I would have kept a tally because it was so obnoxiously overused I seriously think it'd be near the hundreds... thanks E.L James! Ugh -_-Third, the ending seemed really rather rushed and ridiculous. I know... that sounds kind of silly right? A ridiculous ending for a book called Zombie Butts from Uranus? But Teresa, surely the entire book is silly? Well yes... of course the entire book is ridiculously silly, but at least some laws of science are present and accounted for. The ending, however, was just overly unrealistic and in the context within a crazy, unrealistic book itself, well it still seemed to be so unrealistic it was unbelievable in a book all about unrealistic nonsense. So therein lies the issue... if the ending seems far too unrealistic in a book all about nonsensical and unrealistic storytelling, that's probably a problem.Other than that, the storyline was a little more interesting than the first. I liked it better. Zack's butt is probably my favorite character...other than his Gran!
Zack is back along with the butts. Zombie butts from Uranus have been awaken by "accident". They invaded Earth under the command of the Great White Butt. Instantly the butt fighters got geared up and proceeded to stop these zombie butts, butt to their surprise they were unable to harm them. Their usual butt fighting techniques were useless against this new threat. They tried everything but nothing seemed to work...except for ketchup! With this new weapon they were able to hold the zombie butts off. This is the second in the series and I think it was pretty interesting. At first it seemed like all hope was lost, It didn't seem like anything could be done about the butts. This got me on the edge of my seat with all the suspense especially with the return of the kisser. I had no idea what to expect in this book, anything was possible, which made this a book you won't be able to put down.
What do You think about Zombie Butts From Uranus (2004)?
What can you say about a book that comes with a warning: "If you are a parent or a teacher or even if you're just over eighteen, put this book down now!You won't like it! You won't understand it! You wil be totally grossed out by it." TRUE!! "Recommended" in a Book Links article (May 2009) The Gross and the Gory: Making Reading Connections with Boys" that states very clearly that boys like action, adventure, and toilet humor. So I was off to meet the author Andy Griffiths who specializes in such books. I only made it through a couple of chapters (after all I had been warned). Enough to know that talking butts, crapalances, poopigators, etc.are not for me. Will the third and fourth grade boys love this? And the first one "The Day My Butt Went Psycho!" I expect so

this sequel is about zack and his butt go in marvelous adventures in space fighting butt zombies the great white butt and more this book is hilarious and embarrasing reading about butts. i would text-to-text this book to also previous books of one of andy griffins books known as the day my butt went psycho it is as hilarious as this book. i would give this book 4 stars because it is funny action butt fighting and more marvelous adventures along the way but closer to the end it got pretty boring it seems as if the author had noting else to say.

Zach is a junior league butt fighter. He didn't win any simulator games so he ran away. He found a butt feeler and his butt can talk and detach itself. Its kind of creepy. She felt it and gave him some ketchup. He found about the zombie butts when he got to Mabel Town. His grandmother lives there. She was always prepared for war like this. His grandma was a famous butt fighter. Zach doesn't know that. They went to their attic and it was a butt fighter control room.A girl from the academy came in a buttmobile. She picked them up. They meet up with two other butt fighters. They burned some butts and they got knocked out from the smell. Zach's parents are on a secret E-Mission. They are on Uranus right now. They got kidnapped to the Magitorium. A butt was talking to Zach down in the Magitorium. The maggot lord came out and made a deal with them. They half to bring zombie butts to his kids. they did. They mutant maggots ate them and died. Then they woke up and the were mutant zombie maggots.The great white butt came to earth to take over. When he got there e scared all the mutant zombie maggots away. On uranus Zachs mom hit the great white butt with a perfume bomb. The great white butt blasted Zach grandma and the two other butt fighters. Zach and Elinor tried to kill it. and they did.Zachs parents came back and Zach got a certificate and the teachers of the junior league got unzombie buttified and Gran went somewhere they don't know. And they lived their life as butt-fighters. I think this book is really good and gross. I recommend that kids read this book not adults.
