The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks

4.0

This book is both a pretty good general survival guide and a satire of survival guides. The survival guide section is well done, and honestly everyone should have a basic knowledge of survival gear in case of emergency. The survival section gets increasingly more and more satirical. The historical section was pretty good--reporting zombie attacks over the years--but I felt Brooks tried too hard to make the attacks seems plausible, by claiming that most of these attacks had only been recently discovered through new archives. Either pretend there are real zombies throughout history or not! No need to rely on "recently discovered documents" that sound dodgy anyway.

Overall, a pretty good read, and not just for people who like to read about zombies.
