Mockus writes an entertaining read that is right on target with the trend for all things supernatural. It was fun and light hearted and makes for a great gift. Highly recommend it for those zombie lovers among us or just those looking for a fun read!

I got this book when I was at Borders Books. It really interested me because it comes with this little sound module. I started pushing the buttons and laughed when a creepy zombie voice blared out of the speaker.

Are you a survivor of the zombie apocalypse? Has the entire world been taken over by the living dead? When there's no chance of defeating the zombies, there's only one thing left to do. If you can't beat them, live amongst them. This book is a guide to help you speak like a zombie.

This was a fun read. It's one of those things that you only need to read once and when you're done it get's moved to the side. The book takes the reader to a ton of different locations like the Mall, the gym, sporting events and even the coffee shop. Each step of the way the reader learns how to fit in without being detected. It did have some interesting things and the sound module made the experience a little better.

The illustrations done by Travis Millard were awesome. They were very childlike, but also very funny. This book reminds me a lot like a children's picture book. I showed it to my daughter and she kept pressing the, "Brrrraaaaiiinnnnssss" button, to the point where I had to take it away from her. She seemed to like the book. It's not a book I'd want to read again, but I'm sure my daughter would want to keep pressing all the noise buttons. I will have to give How to Speak Zombie, 3 Undead Heads out of 5.

10 Key phrases for the inevitable Zombie apocalypse. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. A funny book which seems like one funny joke: gurgley, indecipherable grunts with their English equivalents. But the accompanying text is witty and will give you just as many laughs. I love that "aaaaYYYrarhhhhmMUHHHTT?" means "Can I borrow your yoga mat?" at the gym. I'm interested in taking this book along on camping trips (imagine what these noises will sound like emanating from a tent during the quiet of the night) and on public transit. It has many uses, all funny.

Librarians take note: in the field of humorous mix-genre zombie books here's one that finally has a place in a public collection. There's little story, but lots of kind-of gross illustrations and a high interaction quotient as each page in this book is a scene and corresponds to a button that when pushed plays one of many zombie drones. This book is sure to engage readers because it is so interaction based. It's not aimed at children per se, but the illustrations are much vaguer when it comes to explicit gore than the combat manuals and So Now You're A... guides. Most of the scenarios are more adult based (at the club or at the gym) but not inappropriate either.

At the very least this would be a fun book to play around with to engage difficult patrons, or that both kids and parents can have fun with. Recommended.

Contains: vaguely gory illustrations, the book makes noises

Aaaarrrghawannazaaaagggghhhhnnnnn (means turn out the lights, Honey, and let's get on with it. . . ) (I made this one up, but you get the picture!)

Well, something like that, anyway--this is a hardcover book with only about 12 pages, but it is HILARIOUS! The cover and pages are really hard, like a book for a very young child, but it's NOT a child's book. Think of it as an adult toy (book) for the zombie lover. It has a big picture in the middle of each 2 pages, with zombies attempting to lead a normal life--like going shopping. They do what they do while arms and fingers and other appendages fall off. The left side of each spread gives some zombie talk and translation. The right side of the spread gives an intelligent sounding explanation of zombie life. There are different spreads of zombie life.

There is also a sound module, where you press one of 11 buttons for various zombie sounds, so you can learn zombie language and become multi-lingual.

This book is hysterical! I got it for a 57-year old friend who is a tekkie by day but loves to dwell in the simple pleasures of a no-think zombie movie at night. He LOVED it!

I wonder. . . do ya think zombies BOINK???

Great quality in printing, packing and service. All the people wants to read it and hear it !!!... Great for kids, Congratulations !!!

Obviously, this book doesn't take itself seriously, so take it for what it is: funny entertainment! We bought this book to display during our recent Halloween Party and it brought more than a few laughs to party-goers. Have fun with it!

I goit this for my nephew adn he just loves it! Sleep w/it and bring it back to school for show and tell!

I found this at a Borders in the sale bin and laughed the whole time I read through it. The best part are the sounds that are meant to help you learn "zombie speak" as it's so tongue in cheek funny! Each button has a different zombie phrase. I bought it as a gag gift for my brother- worth the laugh!

its been the best icebreaker for my wifes private practive waiting room, its very funny and helps older people get some laughs
