Reviews
“I doubt that I'll read a more disturbing book this year. Buy it for yourself, your friends, put a copy next to your toilet. Brilliantly written, morbidly funny, completely convincing”- Simon Morden, Vector.
"So meticulous and well researched that it's more scary than funny. This book lays out everything you need to know to protect yourself from flesh-eating monsters' – Esquire
‘A bloody-minded, straight laced manual for evading the grasp of the undead’ – Time Out

"Funny, Serious, supprising Read"
I have only read about half of the book and I have not found any problem with it at all, It has a very funny side because even though its not funny the subject makes it funny while keeping a serious tone to it.
This book feels real and I guess if zombies where real then this would be the book to have for survival

"Essential reading. Optimise your zombie kill ratio."
The Zombie Survival Guide is essential reading for any who fear the Walking
Dead, or just enjoy Zombie-themed entertainment.
This guide book is organised for quick reference to each of its parts: zombie
description, combat, defense, escape and reclaiming civilisation. The first part
outlines what a zombie is, both in Max Brooke’s world and various other
fictional forms. Max Brooke’s version is based on the virulent Solanum virus.
Probably derived from 'Solanum Nigrum’, or 'Deadly Nightshade’. Gardeners
will note that the 'Solanum’ family also includes potatoes and tomatoes…
In any case, you’ll find lots of helpful advice in here for surviving the next
wave of living dead that crests the horizon. You’ll also be disabused of any
dangerous notions derived from 'survivor movies’ featuring hapless groups
trapped in shopping malls and other high risk zones. You’ll certainly never
pick up a flamethrower when a .22 semi automatic is handy. Or you might just
try some moves with a sharpened shovel. It is all about kill ratios,
apparently.
Enjoy.

"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition"
For anyone who has sat and talked at length about what you're going to do
when (not IF) the zombie apocalypse hits, this book will gleefully point out
every shortcoming of your plans (Hint: You'll be dead before you find an Aliens
exosuit).
Gets dry in some spots, but the addition of “real-life” incidents at the
end, and its ability to avoid breaking belief, it's an excellent read for fun
or for education.

"Text Book"
Why didn't they teach us useful stuff like this at high school!- A great
read and I was only slightly tempted to bookmark pages for later :)
Might need to update my emergency surivial kit for earthquakes, tsunamis to
include zombie apocalypse
