uummmm no

im sorry but i strongly disagree. Having bought and read it cover to cover I can tell you that he didnt cover one thing I hadnt thought of already. Of coarse Im a zombie purist, so that explains somthing. Alot of it just seemed to be common sense.

I had trouble with the weapons section too. I can't believe he brought up shuriken as a "deadly" weapon. Yeah right. Shuriken are meant as a distractionary device. A la "were about to engage and i throw one at your face as a distraction right before i attack." Seriously if you dissagree try throwing one into a coconut. If you can get one well into a coconut, then perhaps you could get one into a skull. But more realistically a shuriken is going to skip off the rounded bones of the skull/face leaving a fairly serious (but in no way deadly) gash. Even if you get one in the eye its not going to kill them.

To anyone who is planning on buying this book I suggest you go rent resident evil (the game), the romero trilogy, and the 1990 living dead remake. These will teach you everything you really need to know about surviving a zombie encounter, assuming thats what your after. The rest is just common sense. Dont make alot of noise. Guns run out of ammo. Smash head with blunt weapon. Cities = Bad. Etc.
