Reading for the average Zombie? - By: Gisli Jokull Gislason, 07 Aug 2008 
I read this book before reading World War Z, that book is a very good horror story & I rather regret reading this book before the other since it added little to it & actually made some parts worse (the explanation of the Solan Virus). Skip this one & go straight to World War Z which is good.
This is a spin on survival guides. How to livein a Zombie infested world, & how to notice the first signs of an invasion of the living dead. Plus a little cronicle at the end covering zombie outbreaks.
On the whole a bland reading. It has its good bits & parts but never really gets going.
As a survival guide it is o.k. & has some clever observations & would be an excellent sourcebook for role play.
As an instruction on zombie behavior... not brilliant for a zombie is best not overexplained, similar as the Forcein Star Wars - clever concept before the introduction of Midi-chlorians. And the part explaining the difference between regluar Solan Zombies & Tahitian would have been better omitted.
The last part of the book has to do with Zombie outbreaks & here the author could have tried a little harder with his background. Some of the stories are o.k. but many are not & all could have been better with a little more work. I am Icelandic & the part where Icelanders settled Greenland is clever but marred by details like very unicelandic names etc.
On the whole this book wasn't easy to complete, my interestin the book constanly lessened but a few highlights kept me going. It certainly is no book to rave about.
I wrote a book because of this! - By: E. Bruce, 21 Jul 2008 
It's true, i read this & loved the idea, although the book i wrote ended up nothing like this or what i thought it would; i'm pleased with it though so check out Deathday while you're here, by me, Eugene Bruce thanks

Excellent first half. Disappointing second half - By: Daz, 11 Feb 2008 The first half of the book is concerned with preparing for a zombie attack, fortifying your hideout, choosing weapons & fighting the undead. It is played completely straight, is highly informative & absolutely hilarious.
The second half of the book is a collection of 'documented' zombie attacks, & isn't nearly as good as the first half. It all seems a bit random, isn't all that engaging, & crucially isn't particularly amusing.
Overall the book is okay. It's a short read at about 240 pages but it's badly let down by a second half that just feels like padding.
