The book was amazingly lame, and boring.
I feel ripped off. Infact I have been! Take a look at all the reviews here. They are mostly 5 stars, and written with the same manner, tone, and style. Then there are a group of reviews(real ones) which take the complete opposite view (the book is terrible). The amount of these reviews are around the average amount that an unimportant book like this would receive. Obviously the author has just been compensating for his own incompetence by adding fake reviews.
In summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

Zombies make honey and others don’t. This simple line yields more humor than the entire book. I expected that this would be hilarious because the concept is so ridiculous, but instead the author chooses to write a pseudo-factual book for actual survival. The problem: there are no zombies and we don’t really need to prepare. It is weighed down by unimaginative explanations for the genesis and capabilities of zombies. Often, opportunities for creativity or humor are competely missed. Many, if not most questions of how one can avoid infection or conversion are simply answered as “You can’t.” If you are looking for a survival guide, check out the SAS Survival Handbok. If you like zombies get Night of the Living Dead. Waste neither your time nor your money on this book.

What a waste of money and time. This guy is way TOO serious, and from this boring survivalist guide, seen too many Romero movies. He claims zombies are real and his findings are based on real incidences. Fear not, many have checked his sources and found they are all ficticious. Well, with a father like Mel Brooks, what can you expect.
Don’t waste your money. See Night of the Living Dead instead.

Jeez.
From reading the reviews, and looking at the covers, I was expecting a good laugh or two out of this book, and perhaps some chuckles about bad zombie plots.
Be Warned! This dude is SERIOUS! This book is written AS IF zombies were real, and were ACTUALLY ATTACKING people. I couldn’t believe it.. so I kept reading and paging through it.. and nowhere do you see the tongue-in-cheek!
Its not funny, mildly amusing in a few places, and that’s about it. Print off a copy of the back cover, and save your money.

[...]as being along the same lines, could be such a bad read, especially for a fan of zombie movies like myself. A few of the minor problems are things like the fact that the author ditches traditional zombie rules like death by beheading that were set in place by Goerge Romero, generally considered the father of zombie movies; another thing that bothered me is how the classic zombie-killing combo of the shotgun and chainsaw were regarded by this book as inferior to a rifle and crossbow, even if the argument was supplemented with logic; perhaps worst of all are the constant references to “Sol-something”, the author’s name for the zombie virus that was, as far as I know, purely his own invention. All of these things are minor, and only true nerds would care, much less notice. The main problem with this book is it’s far too bland. It reads like a textbook on something that doesn’t exist. It’s dry humor was only actually humorous for about thirty seconds (at the very first I considered maybe he actually believed in zombies) and then I just got pissed at how I had to drag myself through each page. Honestly, this book is well-written, but only enjoyable for people who can laugh at a non-fiction style documentary of zombies for the hours it takes to read the entire book. Sadly, I am not one of them.
