Read this sometime in high school...my first introduction to Max Brooks.
Lovely and incredibly cool as a companion guide to WWZ/Zombie Survival Guide, but too short to be truly awesome on its own.
If I’m being 100% honest, I lost interest. It wasn’t a bad book. I just didn’t really have any interest in reading it any further.
I might pick it up again in the future and try to read the whole thing but not this time.

The premise is absurd and hilarious. Zombie Apocalypse has occurred. It gives you everything from the biology of a zombie, how the virus is contracted to how to avoid and combat a zombie.
If you took the table of contents of your basic survival book, kept all the same chapters and subjects, and applied it to zombies, you get this book.
It is written in a hilariously objective, deadpan manner that befits the Wikipedia description of an episode of South Park or The Simpsons.
Good for travel because of the short, varied sections. Though I was a bit embarrassed to be seen reading it.

It's not as good as World War Z, but the book shows that it was the breeding ground of this great book.
If you like zombies, read it, if you are not sure read World War Z instead.

This is an excellent (fantasy) guide for how to handle the undead in many different scenarios. A lot of the stuff Max included are of practical use and this book serves as a good beginner's tool for preparing for a zombie apocalypse. Yes, the book can be silly sometimes, but it shouldn't be taken seriously. If you suspend your disbelief, you'll enjoy the book much more. I particularly enjoy the "recorded attacks" portion of the book and appreciate that Max can write terrifying zombie stories without having to rely on gore.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone interested in zombies and end-of-the-world type scenarios.

Yes! I’m mastering the zombie language! If you don’t know what that means you’re in deep sh*t. You might want to get some books and start learning a few things..
Every person on the planet should own this book; you can never know when the next attack is going to be.
To do list:
• buy a machete
• buy an M1 Carbine
• buy leather suit
• cut hair short
• buy supplies
• buy a dirtbike or horse, whichever is available
• create a voodoo zombie
• become a professional zombie hunter
Here are some personal results from my research.
Stay safe! And in case you turn into a zombie stay out of my way or eat lead!
