The Zombie Survival Guide is a book detailing different survival methods during the zombie apocalypse, written in a pseudo-comedic fashion. The writer, Max Brooks, does have some opinions that people don't agree with, but it wasn't written as an actual guidebook. it was written to entertain.

I have read it several times, because i simply enjoy reading it.

If you haven't already, you should defiantly check it out.

But not really, because that would be weird.

I just bought Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, they're on my list; after summer reading, but before The Survivors Club.

Ed - "Any zombies out there?"
Shaun - "Don't say that!"
Ed - "What?"
Shaun - "That!"
Ed - "What?"
Shaun - "The zed-word. Don't say it!"
Ed - "Why not?"
Shaun - "Because it's ridiculous!"

Definitely worth reading. I don't care what Justin says, Max Brooks is a great author and the zombie survival guide, World War Z and The zombie Survival guide: Recorded attacks are all excellent reading and I highly recommend them. Also, if you like audio books, the WWZ audio book is very good, and is narrated by Max brooks and features voice acting by Alan Alda, Mark Hammill and several others.

So, you're saying I've fallen upon a puppet?

Love the book. While it may be written to entertain, it definitely draws you in. World War Z even more so. It has valid points and if a zombie apocalypse would really happen, I'd definitely take some pointers from it.

I have every one of Max Brooks books, read them up and down, even have back up copies on .pdf

World War Z is my personal favorite, all those perspectives that he spoke from seemed so real, it is one of my favorite reads of all time

I could go on and on about it in detail, but I will save it until asked to emphasize on what I mean

I keep it on my desk, just in case I need to make a quick exit.
Read it through a couple of times, just to make sure I don't forget anything.
Very important if you're planning your Zombie Plan or want to survive.

I am the visual
The inspiration
