Book+Review

by **MAX BROOKES** a book review by Will Randall Zombies, action, zombies,gore, ZOMBIES!!!! you will find these items and many more in the book that I read called the zombie survival guide. The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brookes is a book about surviving the apocolypse, that just happens to involve zombies. In the book he tells you things like what to stockpile, where to go, how to dress, and most importantly how to despose of the undead. I personally liked this book. If your a paranoid person like me and you want some tips on how to survive, this book will help you. I am a zombie nut and this book very mutch appealed to me. I liked the fact that it detailed the instructions like,Hide in this area,And fortify these parts in this area and have sentries posted in two towers over here and and that it was not like, go to this area, and that is it. They also listed the disadvantages and advantages of certain places because I found out that some places that I thought were good and could be helpful, ended up completely not, so it was a helpful. Of course, the part I enjoyed the most, told you where to hit the zombies and how to dispose the corpses so disease would not spread. I loved this part because of the detailed information it gave and some of the life saving factors. It told you what weapons to use and which ones would be bad because of accuracy and the amount of ammunition you could carry. One thing is that if you use a weapon that is not quite, you could alert a horde of zombies to come rushing at you. But I head a warning to the reader, if you do not like gore and zombies, do not read this book. It also gave some good facts that I found interesting that I probably would have never thought of, like do not leave your hair long because if a zombie gets a hold of it they will pull and pull until they get you. I am a huge zombie movie fan, but I enjoyed the fact that it took zombie movie myths and proved them wrong. Zombies movies always showed someone with a chainsaw as a weapon, but this is a terrible idea, if you have a chainsaw you will not have it for long because chainsaws use alot of gas and when that gas is gone, there is no more chainsaw. And another movie was proved wrong. If you are in a house and it is being overrunned by zombies, do not go into a basement, because you will not be able to get out unless you have a trapdoor in there and if you get trapped in there you are garunteed to die. What I really liked about the book was the fact that it gave you some stories that really showed you flaws, and they were some pretty good short storys of how there were heros when people were in need. But in the end I thought that this was a very good book. Many of my friends and I have read this and really enjoy it. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys zombies, surviving, and a good amount of action. I give this book a 5/5 in my opinion and I really do reccomend this book.
