Title: An odd little book
Review: "The Zombie Survival Guide" is quite an oddity. Not really funny enough to really be a successful parody and not serious enough (because, let's face it, the odds of an actual zombie attack are essentially nil) to be of any use. The book's main draw is that you can see Max Brooks' working out the material he'd put to vastly better use in his living-dead epic "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War." So, I'd only recommend this to major fans of "World War Z." If you haven't read "World War Z," then you absolutely should read it before even considering "The Zombie Survival Guide."
