How To Survive

At this point, your only questions may be, how am I to survive a zombie invasion?!?! Simple, Max Brooks Zombie Survival Guide.   This book written by a famous zombie author is exactly as it’s titled, a book for “complete protection from the living dead”.

It’s actually quite comical, flipping through this book. Brooks wrote this book after writing his book World War Z, which is a collection of stories from survivors during the world war against zombies. The style of this book is as if Brooks sat down and actually planned for a zombie invasion. It is full of tactics, weapons reviews, and anything you can think of when you plan your stronghold. The cover includes a picture of a machete and an M1 garrand as the author found that these are the perfect combination of mid range and close range weapons.

Further review of what buildings provide the best and worst protection, what types of land will be the least infested, and what types of vehicles will provide the quickest and safest escape. While reading this book, chapters will either have you laughing hysterically (the part about how a mullet will eventually get you killed) or have you thinking, why didn’t I think of that? (such as why living at sea could be the worst decision, even without zombies there). In the back of the book, Brooks provides stories of actual zombie attacks dating back to 60,000 B.C. in Katanda, Central Africa, to 2002 A.D. St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Brooks even provides multiple pages for recording outbreak journals  when the outbreak does occur. This book is pretty entertaining whether youre preparing for an attack or just looking for a good laugh.
