My husband laughs at me because I discuss the logistics of zombie warfare. We live above a Starbucks in a secure building; if zombies attacked we could saw a hole in the floor and drop into Starbucks (provided no zombies were made there while getting a grande mocha latte) and stock up on provisions and biscotti. The narrow staircases could be blocked and the zombies would have to break the glass to turn the handles of the electronic secure doors, which they probably aren't smart enough to do. As long as they didn't pile up at the base of the building and build a ramp up to the balcony, they probably couldn't get us. If you think like this, "The Zombie Survival Guide" is for you. My weapons enthusiast brother in law said the research was accurate. He wouldn't comment about the zombie portion. He thinks I'm a nut.

Essential reading. When the dead do beign to rise, I'll be ready. World War Z, also by Max Brooks, is the best zombie novel ever written. Check em' both out.

This book is not only hilarious, but it makes sense. I, too, get laughed at for how serious I take this book. But, when the zombie uprising is at hand you'd be much happier and safer if you had taken a few hours to flip through this how-to guide.

This book is great. My sons and I have read it over and over and their friends constantly try to take it home! Very funny and serious at the same time.

Hilarious faux-history of the zombie threat and ancient outbreaks, as well as step-by-step guides for protecting yourself from the hordes and going zombie hunting.

Thouroughly entertaining and at times laugh out loud funny! Study this book to prepare for the zombie war. Also check out Max Brooks' World War Z. Both 5 stars.
