The Zombie Apocalypse Draws Nigh... BE YE READY!!!
Firstly, let's get some minor things outta the way...
Fer all you sad, unaware people, this book was meant to educate ignorants (normal folk, really) of zombie survival. The book takes itself seriously, and you, the reader, should more or less adhere to the rules of the guide. It gives rather detailed information on gun specs, how to use them, when to use them, what they should be used fer, what not to use (in a zombie outbreak), and where to get them. Actually, this may be a bit of a treat fer gun-lovin, gun-toatin' citizens. Now, this don't mean to go 'round shootin up a buncha people because you suspect they may be a zombie! Don't do that! In fact, the Brooks' guide advises AGAINST such actions! The guide is to prepare you fer the worst of the zombie apocalypse. All you need to know this book will tell you. If you feel that some information is wrong, or Brooks is misinformed, feel free to contact him and share yer opinions about the dreaded zombie hordes that could soon plague our beloved, and fer-granted, Mother Earth.
-------
The book is quite easy to read and understand. Brooks does not use complicated syntax or overly ostentatious words. There will be puns, however. It is a quick read, but vital nonetheless. The actual "guide" part of the book is about 181 pages (outta 272), and then the rest them pages are recorded zombie accounts from all over the world. Make sure you read those too! They'll tell you what people've done in the event of utter chaos, good and bad.
The table of contents in the very beginning spreads everything out fer you. The chapters are divided accordingly:
*The Undead: Myths and Realities
*Weapons and Combat Techniques
*On The Defense
*On The Run
*On The Attack
*Living In An Undead World
*Recorded Attacks
The very first chapter-section "The Undead: Myths and Realities" tells you what a real zombie IS. It also tells you about the traditional Voodoo zombies (which are real) and movie-magic zombies (which are based on, but are not actual zombies most of the time).
Each chapter-section has its own subset of topics to cover. All are full of invaluable information to get you from point A to Z in the life of a survivor. Read through all of these sections, and when yer done... DO IT AGAIN!
You'll be taught (or told advice) about staying in shape during the Zombie Apocalypse, looking fer proper shelter (but almost never a permanent home), securing a house/building/edifice against groves of the undead or bandits/gangs, scouting fer food/supplies/help/survivors, keeping zombies away as well as post-zombie-apocalyptic bandits and pirates, travelling as light as possible through day and night, riding in the right vehicles/automobiles & when they are appropriate, using weaponry to yer advantage, travelling over various terrain, surviving in the harshest climates/environments on Earth, recreating civilization after the "end of the world", possibly living as one out of the handful of survivors in an Undead World, & much more!
-------
I enjoy reading this book. It's a fun experience as well as an important life-saving manual. It's not that expensive either (no more than $11 or $12 on the Internet). I feel a lot safer now that I have this guide in my hand. I'll have to keep it within reach should any situation occur. No government cover-ups... yet. I will definitely be on the look-out fer any sign of the undead. In the mean time, I'll be training and preparing fer what could be a zombie outbreak. Goodluck to yall.
