This review is from: Z Is for Zombie: An Illustrated Guide to the End of the World (Paperback)

Z is for Zombies is a whimsical A to Z of all things zombie. This fantastically illustrated guide will tell you (and quickly in case you are being chased by zombies) what a zombie apocalypse would entail and if you are a fan of all things zombie, then this is a great dry and dark humored piece for you.

This was a short flip-through kind of book so if you were looking for a full length novel, you might want to pass. If you believe is scaring the wits out of your kids as a kind of dark humor feel free to read this as a bed time story and let the nightmares unfurl. The pictures will help to give the kiddies visual. For some reason I kept thinking about the crypt keeper from Tales From The Crypt while reading this. Too bad most zombies aren't that articulate because they are too busy trying to eat you.

Just for fun I decided to write out my fictional last name Lovitz via the guide alphabet.
L is for Leave him behind! He's been bitten!
O is for Omigod Omigod Oh Jesus Get It Off Get It... Aaaarrrrgggh
V is for Virulent
I is for Innards
T is for Terrifying
Z is for Zombie

Zombies = Awesome. You can't deny. I enjoyed this quick read. This book is available May 1st, 2011.

Editor's note: I don't normally read a lot of illustrated guides so I was unsure as to how to rate it. As an illustrated guide though, it's pretty sweet.
