The Zombie Survival Guide : Complete Protection from the Living Dead
reviewed on + 84 more book reviews


I am a fan of the apocalypse, really any kind, but especially Zombies. It is written as though it is a true how too book, quoting military facts, "media stories" and "first hand accounts". Not to say that the information in this book would not be helpful, there are many tried and true survival tactics and some really good advise. Max Brooks has a very vivid and active imagination and did not leave any stone unturned. He tells us how to deal with different types of Zombies, from "Night of the Living Dead" slow movers to the more modern fast paced "Walking Dead" undead. He goes over different weaponry and their uses, benefits and down sides. Camping and scavenging, bugging out and hunkering down. Like I said, this is not a how to guide so if you are serious you will be better off getting a "real" survival guide but this is an interesting book to read.
