    Utterly worthless
    Do not waste your money on this book Max Brooks has no clue what he is talking about. He is writing on a fictional topic claiming to be an expert but his conclusions are faulty due to an extreme separation from reality. Any good fiction contains elements of truth; it is what draws the reader in. Any text spawned from this so called guide will fail to suspend disbelief and generate nothing but WTF moments and bad cliché. This work is nothing more than an egotistical ploy to recreate a fictional trope in his own image and to cash in on the popularity of a topic. This book will spawn horrible fiction nothing else. It is the perfect example of an author ignoring true horror and the attention to detail other genre authors portray.

    Always go big or go home. Translation. . . Headshots!
    This is a quite interesting book about how to survive if there was a Zombie Outbreak. The book starts off talking about facts and myths regarding zombies. It also gives a fictional source to Zombies virus, called Solanum. The book was created as a reference to everyday citizens on how to survive, but also tells you to follow up this book with books on survival skills. The survival measures against zombies are very well thought out. I like how the author finished the book up with recorded zombie outbreaks, very amusing. Good read, definitely check this out if your a zombie fan or just someone who likes to be prepared. Who knows maybe 2012 = Zombie Outbreak?

    very entertaining
    i really enjoyed this book, it felt like i was reading something real, even though it was about zombies. Max Brooks writing paints an interesting picture and is very keeps you entertained. i enjoyed the survival aspects with all its sub topics like "on the run" really interesting to read about different scenarios based on environment, material, ect. I mostly enjoyed the 'recorded attacks" it was interesting to see his use of different locations and times in the world making the text seem almost believable. i applaud this book for been a very entertaining peice of literature.

    Zombie Basics!
    All you ever wanted to know about zombies but were afraid to ask. Even though this book is humour-fiction, the spectre of the undead can be seen as a metaphor for post-9/11 paranoia about others not like us. Great fun and a wonderful survival guide if the zombie apocalypse is indeed imminent.

    Amazing
    I love this book I can't put it down. This was a little surprising that it was so serious but still a great book. Just remember it is fiction and go crazy saying "OMG THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". But anyone who loves zombies should get this book.

    Surprising!
    I was expecting this book to be more jokes since it is located in the Humor section, but I was wonderfully surprised! Very thorough, well written, and practical. I've already started to stock up on what will be needed when Z-Day occurs.

    Fun read - recommended
    Keep in mind this book is purely FICTIONAL (just in case there are people stupid enough to believe this is a real threat). Max Brooks writes in a very serious as-a-matter-of-fact tone that makes this book more enjoyable than most zombie humour comics/books I've read. Most of it actually makes sense too and he seems to have done a lot of research into human behaviour and thus adds quite a bit of realism into his "tips". As a zombie enthusiast, I would say this book isn't anything new to those who think of zombies as "infected" (as opposed to magical or cursed) but it still ws a fun read. The best parts were the latter parts when he recounts "recorded attacks in human history". If you enjoyed this book, I highly recommend "World War Z" also by Max Brooks. It's much better still!

    Zombie Survival Guide
    Awesome!! Keep this book very close, in the near future, because we're all going to need the tips and insight. Get your duffle bag full of ALL the items that you'll need, they're all listed, and even a few more that you can think of on your own. Seriously, this book was awesome, I read it again, after I finished it, and I picked up some small details that I missed the first time around. It's great fun and I had a hard time putting it down. So don't say you weren't warned, you have been and this guide will help you stay alive when it hits the fan. Be prepared. Even if you're not a horror fan, you'll love it because it's like nothing you've ever read before. 5***** and 10/10 A+
