zombiapocalypseReviewed by Doug Chambers, 2010-03-02
Fun read. Quick and easy. The survival guide portion of the book gets a bit tedious but i understand the authors intentions. I have seen these guides in various forms in my local subversive book stores, and i can happily say i will never have to read one. The book takes off in the last chapters with the case studies. Apparently this is where WWZ starts? Whatever, grab it if your fascinated by the prospect of a zombie apocalypse.
Unfunny "Humor" BookReviewed by M. Rohde, 2010-02-27
In the Zombie Survival Guide, it is apparent that Mr. Brooks intended to create a humorous work. The intent of it seemed to be to satire the zombie genre with a field guide to zombies that takes itself far too seriously. Unfortunately, there is little comedy to be found here. The book is intentionally written in a dry, droning style. Unfortunately, while this was intended to be funny, it results in the book being utterly boring. The problem with the book is that it is a satire of nothing. It does not mock the zombie movies it takes its inspiration from, as sections on what not to do (for example use chainsaws) have the humor value of someone who watches a slasher and remarks on the stupidity of the victims: that is to say, it points out the obvious as if it has found something incredibly clever, something that has evaded the rest of the viewers' feeble minds. Of course, in reality the rest of us have chosen to ignore the glaringly unrealistic elements. The "recorded attacks" are Mr. Brooks' attempt at writing straight-up fiction, of course in the same manner as the rest of the book. The results are below most fan-fiction. These are written in the same dry style as the rest of the book, and lack any cohesion as stories. Despite this, they are a step up from the "manual" segments of the book, and as such are its highlights. In short, this book fails at any form of satire; I would encourage zombie fans to look elsewhere for their fix.
A fun readReviewed by G. Johnson, 2010-02-21
If you're into the zombie genre, I recommend this book. Weapons,
zombie extermination, and defenses are some of the subjects covered
in this book. There seemed to be a couple of contradictions
regarding the zombie's abilities, it's just technical stuff, but
I'm picky like that.
I am looking forward to reading Mr. Brooks actual stories. My
eleven year old son liked this book too.
Now you will be ready when the zombies attack!Reviewed by David I. Moore, 2010-02-19
This was an awesome read! Very quick and fun, I read it in less than a week (its about 250 pages long with a few illustrations). The book covers everything you could need to know in the event of a zombie outbreak: what to have, what weapons to use, where to hide, what to eat, how to get around and most importantly: how to most effectivly kill the living dead without becoming an undead coarpse yourself! The book also covers the different levels of zombie outbreaks and a chronological history of all recorded zombie attacks. The book is written in a completely serious manner and the author doesn't let the fact that zombies don't exsist impeade his abillity to write the perfect zombie survival guide. This guide will have the most cynical reader questioning if they are ready for the coming zombie apocalypse. But fear not, as long as you have you copy of "The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks, you will be prepared to survive the slowly advancing hoards of the undead!
Excelent Book!!Reviewed by Michael S. Yow, 2010-02-16
A must have for Zombie fans, Brooks is a great writer and this "how to" spoof is full of info that makes you think.
