Critic reviews

"One would expect the son of Mel Brooks to have a genetic predisposition to humor, and indeed, he does, and he exhibits it relentlessly here." (Publishers Weekly)

The Zombie survival Guide

Great book for a list person. Well thought out. Fairly accurate facts. Fun.

Awesome read

I loved these books and the readers sound very professional I would definitely recommend good job

A Decent Audio book

I love Max Brook and his work. That being said, the Zombie Guide while good just doesn't lend itself to audiobook form in my opinion. The material is stellar, the narration excellent but it just doesn't feel right. Buy World War Z, its one of the best audiobooks on Audible!

excellent

I absolutely loved it! I've read the book 20+ times before. hearing it was much different and just as good, if not better.

awesome. read this years ago.

a great listen. couldn't be happier.
lots and lots of details. will read again.

Interesting but not Captivating....

This book does read like a non-fiction survival guide with lists of information that sometimes droned on for me. It tended to be a little dry. I enjoyed it, but zoned out for portions of the book. Parts that I found the most interesting involved descriptions of the safest buildings to hole up in during a zombie siege. I do find myself looking at buildings and comparing their safety value now. I also liked the descriptions of "real" zombie attacks throughout history. I am glad I listened and I know that every time I watch a zombie movie now, I will be thinking things like, "That chainsaw is not a very practical weapon, considering its weight...."

Best book in the world!

Not only this is a great piece of literature, the content is fun and entertaining, specially if you take this as "seriously" as the author intended to be. If you "believe it", you will enjoy it that much more. 100/10 recommended!!

MUST READ FOR ANY ZOMBIE SURVIVALIST!

Definite must read! Great book, and great narrator! So much useful information, great listen for a long car ride, will keep you on your toes the entire trip!

Solid

Nothing to write home about the narrator does a decent job but seeing as this is quite literally a survival guide there isn't much to work with or to challenge the narrator. An entertaining and surprisingly in depth survey of how to survive before during and after a zombie apocalypse, if you're a horror fan there's a lot to like here but be aware that it's somewhat dry material.

if you like this, you will LOVE World War Z

interesting. not as good as World War Z. if you are into zombies, this is worth the listen.
