Det enda positiva jag kan säga om den här boken är att den får en att tänka. Den är skriven som att zombier finns i verkligheten och något vi behöver oroa oss för. I dessa tider när vi precis upplevt en pandemi samt oroar oss för ett nytt världskrig så finns det paralleller att dra. Så jag fann mig själv reflektera över vad jag skulle göra om ett zombievirus började sprida sig.
Annars var boken rätt tråkig. Mycket av "råden" angående vapen och liknande ledde inte någon vart. Jag fick nästan intrycket att inget vapen var gott nog. Men vad som uttråkade mig mest var det långa kapitlet i slutet av historiska zombieutbrott. Jag hoppade över en stor del av dem.

I picked this up at JFK and wanted to trash it by the time I reached ATL. It seems that Max watched a few zombie flicks, made an excell sheet comparing the trends found in the movies, and wrote a book. I am not sure if it was supposed to be funny in any way, but I got bored with it pretty fast.

Lo bueno los gráficos, las historias son bastante buenas (salvo la de los campistas) y el desarrollo de las historias para que sea una especia de constancia de los ataques zombies a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad. lo malo es que se ve muy aleatorio. como si hubiera sido el azar y no una eleccion pensada las épocas históricas a cubrir. Otro punto en contra es la cantidad de relatos que son muy pocos. y es por eso que le pongo 3 y no 4 estrellas.

I bought this book over ten years ago, didn't finish it and restarted reading it more than a year ago.
It took so long to get through it, because it is very repetitive and I just couldn't warm up to the way it was written.
Also the end of it the historical cases, while the most interesting, also sometimes almost held a weird racist undertone to me? I don't know if that's just me or if someone from those regions would agree but it really broke my almost non existent immersion.
This book is just not for me, which makes sense since I bought it when I was a teenager.

1.5 stars. Well that was just beyond disgusting. I can handle a bit of gore, but seriously this was just too much. I don't think I want to eat anything for the coming hour or so. *shivers*
The art is decent, though not really my kind of art. I am more more of the refined kind of art, not the action/harsh kind of art.
The story and the history parts were really interesting and that is also why I rate this book a 1.5 stars. That is the only thing I enjoyed, though it scared me to bits. It was gruesome, it was horrendous, but it was also interesting. And history is often not fun or happy, so I am used to it being horrendous.
But yeah, the gore.. Dear Lord, there was so much gore and also enough nakedness. I felt uncomfortable quite a lot of times.
Well thanks to this book I will putting his other 2 books on hold. I was looking forward to reading them, but I really need something fun and happy now to get rid of this feeling of disgust I have. Add to that that my stomach is protesting when I mention zombies. :(
