Finished The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks a few weeks ago. Outside of its obvious comical theme, I liked the book. Of course its nothing ground breaking nor Earth shattering, but it is enjoyable. I've ventured out and bought his second book, World War Z (which is being made into a movie by Brad Pitt's company) and this is a more serious toned book, and I like how the story is presented, via interviews. Brooks ability to describe the surroundings in both books is fantastic, although not on par with many famous writers. I recommend both, mostly to zombie genre fans and buffs.
