GoodReads Book Review #1 - THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE: COMPLETE PROTECTION FROM THE LIVING DEAD by Max Brooks

The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living DeadThe Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead by Max Brooks

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living dead by Max Brooks This fantastic book was published in 2003, is a horror/ zombie book, and it's roughly 270 pages. this particular book took about three to four weeks to read for me. there aren't any characters except zombies because it's a survival guide. With that being said the setting is always changing because it's a secario based book.

The point of this book is to help you survive an attack by zombies there isn't a good guy or a protagonist. So iff you only like those kind of books then i don't recomend you read this book

there are however a ton of possible senarios for example if your in a group or alone. There isn't really a point to the book it's a fun read. I personaly thought that this book was amazing the author explained everything hewanted to say beautifully. If i met Max Brooks (author) i would tell him how great of a novel he wrote.

I Really enjoyed how in depth he went with explaining what the best weapons were and why. I also loved the pctures they added visual to the story. The thing I didnt enjoy about the book was the fact that it ended... i realy liked reading this book

This book has everything from where to make a new home, to the best weapons to use in battle. The next book i'm reading is called world war Z. This is also by Max Brooks hes a great author and im positive that his other book is great to!
