Waiting for 2000 by Zack Love ~Review~ *****




Inspired by and reminiscent of Samuel Beckett’s absurdist stage play “Waiting for Godot,” this Y2K theater comedy satirizes the frivolous extravagance of the mega-rich.

Bob’s Billionaire Boat boasts the world’s 2,000 richest people on it, and will enable them to celebrate the arrival of the year 2000 twice in a row by crossing the International Dateline on New Year's Eve 1999. The co-captains of the boat — two regular guys — keep themselves amused with endlessly silly banter while occasionally debating whether the whole thing is just a fictional stage play.

Meanwhile, two Wall Street traders who are bitter about missing the wealth cutoff for the billionaire cruise are determined to blow up the boat and thereby become the two richest people on earth.

This 25,000-word satire offers the ultimate experience of comical absurdism, with fun philosophical musings about everything and nothing, as the zaniest billionaires ever to gather on a single vessel prove that there's still plenty to complain about at the top.

*****

I absolutely love a book that has me thinking about things and laughing all at the same time.
Waiting for 2000 is one of these books. I love that Zack isn’t afraid to write comedy type books and make people smile while he’s doing it. 

All of the people on Bob’s ship are just hilariously funny and leave you wondering if most people really are that way. Well rich people that is. Each person on the ship has there own uniqueness about them and there own view of how things should be. This book is a breath of fresh air with all of it’s differences. 

I really enjoyed listening to Al and Sam talking about all the passengers and crazy things that keep going on on the ship. It’s a bit wild. But I promise this book will leave you grinning from ear to ear and it’s funniness is just enlightening. As always Zack  has given me another book to say I loved and truly enjoyed reading. A must read.
