I thoroughly enjoyed every page of Z4Z. There were many times when I was laughing so hard that my roommate insisted that I read her the passage! David P. Murphy is creative and hilarious. His references to current cultural phenomena left me laughing and smiling for hours on end. Every time I thought that I had a favorite part of the book, Murphy made another reference that sent me into a laughing fit! I really loved reading Z4Z and hope David P. Murphy has many more hilarious books to come!

Although I don't exactly have a taste (ahem) for zombies, I found this book very funny indeed. The writing is smart and snarky and the illustrations are imaginative to say the least. If you enjoy ridiculing self-help books, you'll get a big kick out of this one. Don't shy away just because you're repulsed by the living dead. If you have any sense of humor, you'll laugh out loud at Zombies for Zombies. If you don't laugh out loud . . . well, I guess you waited too long after being bitten. Zootie

Zombie for Zombies is a how-to-book and advice book, to living as a Zombie. A must for anyone who has been recently bitten. I'll be the first to admit I'm not a huge zombie fan. But if you add in a bit of snark, a little bit of humor then I'm good to go. Which is exactly what I found in Zombies for Zombies, I thought it was hilarious! This book holds all sorts of information that is vital to a zombie. From behavior, to grooming, stories of success and even tips to spice up your zombie sex life. Not to be missed! With the popularity of the paranormal I wonder if this book will spawn other books such as Vampires for Vampires or Werewolves for Werewolves?? ;)

Ha! Awesome! My husband is thoroughly convinced that the humans demise will be by Zombie hands. He and I both enjoy good zombie movies and games and we are very gently conditioning our 4 youngsters into the world of Horror. I dont want our kids to be afraid of the things we enjoy. Anyways the the book is great and I am enjoying it very much.

Based on the other reviews I was expecting this to be a fun read but I was really surprised at the creativity. The bottom line is that the author does more than tell you about how to integrate with society (in the scarlet shores nursing homes) and not be part of the Horde after being bitten. He actually does a great job of describing life post zombie disaster. Some of the early sections are a bit dry but once things get going (starting with the chapter on fashion) the juicy sections are REALLY funny. There is actually very little gore for a book on zombies but the recipes are (VERY funny and) totally gross. So, if you were hoping for lots of guts or horror don't bother with this one but if you like zombies and if you need a laugh pick it up.

While the book is listed at 240+ pages it is small and really a fast read with lots of art. So, it is ideal for a cross country flight or a rainy day.

Been bitten by the undead? Unable to curb the never ending hunger for the flesh of the living? Then You need Zombies For Zombies. With it's prophetic advice, you'll soon be on your way to become the best zombie you can be. And with only three small payments I'll even throw in some recipes that'll keep your decaying taste buds buzzing. here's how to order

This is a great send-up of every self help program you might run into, including diet (Putrisystem), meds (Blissium, Hammerme) and exercise (lay on the floor). Also a host of products are available to help you through your zombie transition and keep as many of your body parts as possible...
Mostly a fun read (laugh out loud), it drags a bit in the last quarter of the book, else it would have been 5 stars.

As a certified Zombie Hunter ([...]) I can say that this book is far and away the best book written thus far covering this topic, just because it's the only one too does not diminish my opinion. I recommend you buy it.....before it's too late. As a bonus my copy showed up autographed by both author and artist....COOL!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Z4Z. After reading through reviews already written on the book and author, I tried to come up with a new, original way of expressing why this book was so entertaining. I have decided that I can only reiterate what other readers have already expressed.

David Murphy has totally captured the needs and desires of post-lifers. While compiling this guide, he left no stone unturned in showing them how to keep up their "quality of life" as long as possible. I also read this at the time Zombieland came out, but that only helped me visualize all of the situations presented in the book.

Although I did not read the book within seventy-two hours as suggested, I found it easy to pick up the book whenever I wanted to escape into David's world of zombies. If I laugh out loud at a movie, that usually earns an immediate thumbs up. To find myself laughing out loud while reading a book was an unexpected surprise. At times, his cultural references would trigger memories and give me pause . . .

So I suggest that you pick up your own copy and enjoy!!!

A GREAT book! I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a motivational guide to help them deal with life and the pressures that accompany the drama life brings.
