Today I picked up two books that for some people are the bibles to Zombies. World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide. I haven't read either before. Maybe I'll get an education, maybe not. The Survival Guide was in the Humor section of Borders Books. I'm thinking of holding back on my blog story until I've read through part of the books.

i like the way WWZ was written ina sort of interview kinda way. it was intriguing to me, because the man did his research on all the places that were mentioned in the book. i mean it was probably just google search kinda info, but hell, it was still good research none the less.
I have read both, or rather listened to both, I liked WWZ but the survival guide will get you killed if there ever is a ZPOC
*cough*
WWZ was totally excellent. I haven't read the Zombie Survival Guide yet, but it sounds good.
max brooks findings seem like he isnt from this country, and they seem out of date. other than that, theyre good books
What country is "this " country? Books are made for a world audience
WWZ is my favorite book. The survival guide is so-so... I mean, until there's actually a zombie apocalypse, you can't really make a survival guide, lol. Still, they're both awesome.
Just started reading Zombie Nation by David Wellington.
Read them with a grain of salt...I liked them but Max Brooks is no genius the survival guide only covers one specific type of zombie and honestly I disagreed with about half of both books.
Christ I am going to get so much shit for this...
Oh, I agree. Brooks' writing bothers me some. He tends to lean toward a bias that sees the government actually caring and being on the spot to help. I disagree with this. It appears that Wellington is along the same lines but the plague in his books is moving faster then anyone can respond it appears.
Does anyone else find the back portion of the ZSG is a little contrived, I mean this guy comes up with his own zed fighting theories and then makes up stories to support them, and what the hell is a Shoalin spade anyway.
