Living in an Undead World

The best part of the book is Chapter5: Living in an undead world. It talks about what would happen "If zombie hordes grew large enough to dominate the entire planet." It explains in excruciating detail what to do step by step if this were to happen. It tells what what to do from finding a safe place to live from having thousands of zombies charging in on your location at once! I also like this chapter because it gives the most survival tips when confronting large amounts of zombies. One of the most important ones i found is to "Move to an isolated part of the world". I think this is the most important tip because if no humans lived where you are then there would be no zombies either. I also loved how well thought through the planning of this chapter was. It left absolutely no chance for zombies to get you if you follow the guide.

Reading Log #1

Brooks Max. The Zombie Survival Guide, New York: Three Rivers Press, 2003

My book is a creative non-fiction how-to guide about how to survive an infestation of zombies. I know that this book is this type of genre because of the way the book is set up and the title of the book says its a guide. The reason this book attracted me so much was the fact that it was entirely about zombies! I love the idea of zombies. From reading this book I have learned many different things on how to survive if there ever was a viral outbreak of the undead. One of the most important things I've learned is how excellent a school can be when used as a fortress against zombies. I have also learned that one of the best vehicles when on the run from zombies is a simple bicycle.

bludgeon (v) -- to hit repeatedly with a blunt object.

accumulate (v) -- to gather objects together

Bludgeoning is potentially a good method of dispatching a zombie.

In order to survive a zombie infestation, you need to accumulate many supplies.
