What do you mean? Are you referring to life creating a constant decrease in entropy(at least at the human level) while dead things only increase in entropy.

Bob is referring to light sabers and wookies as a complete slap in the face of science and should be removed from high school and college books. I can see his point, NASA engineers being taught warp drive theory is inexcusable.

Its seems like a rehash of recorded attacks Max brooks already wrote about. The art is cool and its an enjoyable book. Its no WWZ part 2

Meh, thoroughly enjoyed WWZ...and Bob, he still suggests katanas. I mean, how awesome is that?

WWZ was ok. Better than most fan fiction, but still awkwardly written. He was smart to use the first person interview device, good fiction training wheels for a new writer.

Some of the characters were obvious puppets, giving speeches for the author. Did you notice how all these diverse people, from all around the globe, all had basically the same views on religion, evolution, etc.?

I do get annoyed when people say "Check the guide" when discussing zombie attacks.

I too find Mr. Brooks zombie theories flawed, and inherently dangerous to actual victims of zombie attacks.

I thought the same thing when I read "Moby Dick". That book didn't help me with whaling at all.

It's not supposed to be a zombie survival guide.

It's supposed to be an entertaining read.

When zombies attack, a book is the last thing I want. I'll take a shotgun, thanks.

i think you should read the book before hand, not during

An actual book on actual zombies that actually has a scientific base to it: Link
