Publisher's summary

You're going to wish you never got this audiobook. Some facts are too terrifying to teach in school. Unfortunately, Cracked.com is more than happy to fill you in: A zombie apocalypse? It could happen. 50% of humans are infected with a parasite that can take over your brain. The FDA wouldn't let you eat bugs, right? Actually, you might want to put down those jelly beans. And that apple. And that strawberry yogurt. Think dolphins are our friends? Then these sex-crazed thrill killers of the sea have you right where they want you. The most important discovery in the history of genetics? Francis Crick came up with it while on LSD. Think you're going to choose whether or not to buy this audiobook? Scientists say your brain secretly makes all your decisions 10 seconds before you even know what they are.

Don't let the title fool you

Where does You Might Be a Zombie and Other Bad News rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is right up there. Kept my interest and was entertaining

What did you like best about this story?

Learning fascinating facts about things you thought were true only to learn history is not always the way it seems.

Which scene was your favorite?

Nothing sticks out, enjoyed everything

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes it made me laugh

Any additional comments?

A fun book about history figures and events that are totally different from what I have heard or read. Just goes to show not everything is the way history books would have you believe.

Hilarious

While mostly just a collection of already printed Cracked.com articles, it's wonderfully hilarious to listen to while on a drive. At first, I wasn't thrilled with the narrator, but he grew on me and the more I listened, the more I realized he was perfect for the position.

One of the best books I have ever read.

I love this type of book but there are so few. I found this book to be interesting and I never lost interest in other words I found all of the chapters interesting.

When you need Cracked.com articles in your ear

Where does You Might Be a Zombie and Other Bad News rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is pretty funny and engaging. It is articles from Cracked.com thrown into a book. I'm glad I got it as the deal of the day because while I found it funny and engaging, if I would have paid full price for it, I would have second thoughts. I usually like browsing the cracked articles but this can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't careful.

Which scene was your favorite?

The baddest, most awesome presidents of the United States was a good article.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I probably could but would not retain much after.

Any additional comments?

It's a good listen for mindless entertainment.

A terrific listen from. beginning to end!

A terrific listen that you hope will not end. I'm on a 3rd or 4th llisten.. The storyline and narration are first class throughout the book. I'm hoping for a sequel.
Get this one - you won't be sorry.
