Well, here I am again. I had a flash of brilliance today while I was doing my reading. Why not turn this into a book review while I'm completing my quest?
It will help those who maybe want to read the books that I'm reading and don't want to buy the book blind. Aside from that, it'll help me out when I'm at a loss for words, a common problem plaguing almost every writer worldwide.
So, the first book that I am going to review is The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.
This book is an interesting look at what could happen if zombies took over. Mr. Brooks informs the reader of what he/she should do to prepare for a zombie attack. There are lists of effective weapons, the effectiveness of different types of terrain to defend against an attack and the different classes of outbreaks.
The thing that he (the Author) was always pushing was to never put off preparing for an outbreak. If you wait til the last minute, it's already too late. That throws an interesting bit of perspective into things, doesn't it?
To finish off the book, Max lists in chronological order all of the recorded incidents of zombie attacks and what happened during each one. My conclusion? Zombie attacks can happen anywhere in the world and at any time.
As far as a rating on the book, I give it 4.5 stars (5-star system). It is an easy book to read, although it drags on at times. But what was I really expecting? One can't rush learning about survival in a life or death (or should it be life or living-dead) situation.
