 It served it perpouse, and gave me a good read. October 4, 2008
Oliver Baillie (UK)
I'm glad I looked into the product before buying, as I'm seeing alot of dissapointed customers in some aspects.
I actually bought this book as an assistant source for an RPG, though I found it quite enjoyable. It was obvious that the "true stories", wern't true stories, its written as if the world sufferd an undead plauge and this is supposed to help. Its all about perspective.
The cover has been updated in the same style as World War Z. Unfortunatly it doesn't work as well, maybe some white blood splats would liven it up.
World War Z: White, with red blood splats.
ZSG: plain Red.
A little dissapointed there, but its fine.
 Reading for the average Zombie? August 7, 2008

I read this book before reading World War Z, that book is a very good horror story and I rather regret reading this book before the other since it added little to it and actually made some parts worse (the explanation of the Solan Virus). Skip this one and go straight to World War Z which is good.
This is a spin on survival guides. How to live in a Zombie infested world, and how to notice the first signs of an invasion of the living dead. Plus a little cronicle at the end covering zombie outbreaks.
On the whole a bland reading. It has its good bits and parts but never really gets going.
As a survival guide it is o.k. and has some clever observations and would be an excellent sourcebook for role play.
As an instruction on zombie behavior... not brilliant for a zombie is best not overexplained, similar as the Force in Star Wars - clever concept before the introduction of Midi-chlorians. And the part explaining the difference between regluar Solan Zombies and Tahitian would have been better omitted.
The last part of the book has to do with Zombie outbreaks and here the author could have tried a little harder with his background. Some of the stories are o.k. but many are not and all could have been better with a little more work. I am Icelandic and the part where Icelanders settled Greenland is clever but marred by details like very unicelandic names etc.
On the whole this book wasn't easy to complete, my interest in the book constanly lessened but a few highlights kept me going. It certainly is no book to rave about.
I wrote a book because of this! July 21, 2008

It's true, i read this and loved the idea, although the book i wrote ended up nothing like this or what i thought it would; i'm pleased with it though so check out Deathday while you're here, by me, Eugene Bruce thanks

Think your mother-in-law might be a zombie? Not sure whether to use an AK47 or a machete?
Answers to all your zombie related questions..
Just don't be surprised if you end up making your own escape route and find yourself doing a spot of target practice!
