    Do you like it? What is favorite part? What do you think are the most important points in order to survive a zombie pandemic?

    I loved that book. SO much information. I liked the beggening when they talk about zombie conspieracies. Like its happened already but its been covered up. I also loved the fighting section. How it tells you to train, and what types of things to use. Like using a 22. rifle instead of a huge calibur hunting rifle. It makes since. I had thought this way back and when I read this book it just backed my thoughts up even more. I think the most important sections are the self defence, and the getting to a safe place section. A lot of people dont think to NOT go to the police department or hospitals. People who read this book will most likely not make this mistake.

    The Crowbar is by far the most valuable and versatile tool in a zombie outbreak, I'd even say that given the option of a Crowbar and a Katana, I'd choose the Crowbar.  (If I couldnt bring the Katana)

    it slices, dices, and if you slap on a calculator on the thing, it'll do your taxes too.

    If you like this book, then I would highly suggest picking up and reading "World War Z" Max Brooks' zombie pandemic come to life from beginning to end. It's a amzing read.

    Loved the survival guide. Great read. I remember getting so into it I would look over my shoulder every now and then, just to make sure the zombies hadn't risen yet.

    World War Z really fleshed out the Zombie Guide (Although I highly recommend reading them in chronological order). I've heard legend that the World War Z auido book is pretty good as well (with Henry Rollins and Mark Hamel as narrators of certain sections). I've also heard rumor that they're trying to make World War Z into a feature film.

    "Paramount Pictures has acquired the movie rights; Brad Pitt's production company Plan B Entertainment will produce the film. In the October 2006 issue of Fangoria Magazine, Brooks explains that he will not be writing the screenplay for the motion picture, as he feels he is not an accomplished enough screenwriter to "do it right." (J. Michael Straczynski is writing the screenplay.[1])"

    I've read it. It's entertaining, but I think, for the most part, it's factually a load of absolute toss. Speaking from a fictional viewpoint though, it's very good

    I read it but it didn't keep my interest. It's not that it's a bad book, it's just that I prefer storyline and most of it wasn't storyline. I may also be ADHD lmao.

    That is exactly me. LMAO I think I stopped reading halfway through the survival guide but I picked it up again for the sake of finishing it, only after reading three other books. Two of which I have yet to finish... <.<

The worst thing is thet the person who was ment to die in the beginninig of the story .Had in fact died a week after i started writing the story. Understanably im uncertain if ill continue to write it. Im a better reader then writer. But enough of thet. Waiting for ohter stories.

    all mistakies in Bold, my advice? get Firefox and let it do half the job, it will find these small errors for you, and help you improve you English, its like a teacher, only not annoying(ok maybe annoying). and you will find out you write better after a while, because your sick of FF telling you "OMGBBQWRFHAX U R SO WRUNG NAO!"

    Thats one reason why I tend not to write people I know into stories anymore. I'm a bit superstitious... But a story idea I have had is based off of nightmares I've been having of losing my kids to zombies. It's a great idea, the nightmares I have are horrifying and would make for a good story. But everytime I try to start it I get upset about it. >.<
