And only here, between the covers of this book, will you learn their secrets to happiness. Learn how to slow down and move at your own pace, become your own boss, and just devour those irritating people who get in your way. And there?s more, because zombies can offer no-nonsense advice on love, playing to your strengths, and on becoming more adaptable.

  Others Are Much Better, Let Me Tell You July 15, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well, I can't say it was awful, and it was undeniably funny at times. However, those occasions were rare, and on the whole, found it very, very boring. I also found a few grammar errors, but I guess that doesn't really matter in the long run. The example sections were the best part of the entire book, and were very enjoyable. However, the Zombie Survival Guide, while different, is much better, and if you want a zombie book, you'd be better off getting it instead of this.
  Funny -- and wise June 20, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is meant as a gag, of course, but actually there is some good advice in here! You won't end up eating the brains of your friends and family (I think), but you will learn how to seize the moment, forge a new path, and act on your impulses.
So, I guess I'm saying: This book doesn't bite! (Get it?)
  Self Help thru the Undead May 23, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a self-improvement book you'll find in the humor section of the bookstore. Learn how to take control of your life by looking to the zombies' actions and goal determination. There were spots that got me to smirk but never did I laugh at the attempted humor. As someone else pointed out, you don't get the impression that the author is really a zombie book/movie fan but rather uses the topic as a marketing ploy. The first half of the book as looking at general zombie traits and what it is to be a zombie with a single goal orientation. The second half is your 12 week program on how to acquire and implement your 'zombification'.
It's a great looking book with crisp white rigid soft-cover roughly 4x6". It's 275 glossy pages with well done cartoon art inside. However, if read multiple times, I foresee that the rather cheap binding is going to allow pages to fall out. I really wanted to like this book but it was boring to read and it didn't hold my full attention. The text is lackluster, a bit unfocused, and was not terribly amusing, to me anyway. Some people are going to love this book, others won't. Overall, the book is like a joke without the funny.
