My book review is on The Zombie Survival Guide, written by the creative genius Max Brooks. This book is most certainly fantasy, adult, seeing as it's a guide to survive a zombie apocalypse, and Humor, because of the stunning creativity and the fact that the author created it to be humors.
As for the summary, it explains ten basic lessons for surviving a Zombie attack: Organize before they rise! They feel no fear, why should you? Use your head: cut off theirs. Blades don’t need reloading. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair. Get up the staircase, and then destroy it. Get out of the car, get onto the bike. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, and keep alert! No place is safe, only safer. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on. It is also divided into seven sections: The Undead: Myths and realities, Weapons and combat techniques, on the defense, on the run, on the attack, Living in an undead world, and Recorded attacks.
This book is absolutely memorable. To be completely honest, I still have most of the book memorized after reading it once! And what really blew me away was that it seems like every zombie movie or video game follows the guide lines set by this book. Meaning this book completely altered the stereo-type zombie, which I find to be pretty amazing.
All in all, this book is likely my favorite book that I've read, if not for the solid fact that Max Brooks not only created the stereo-typical zombie, he created the guidelines for just about every hero in a zombie apocalypse to follow, and he made a memorable book all at once! A+

Sounds like a good book. It kind of reminds me of the movie, Zombieland. (:
Sounds pretty cool. Is it like a story or just a guide book?
