Thoughts and musings...

I thought these two books were great. Thank you to Sourcebooks for sending them to me in exchange for a review.

What I liked:

I enjoyed the humor. These two books take the Dummies series and turn it into a newly minted zombie survival manual. The charts where you try to control the urge to eat people you encounter in your day to day life were my favorite. Very clever.

The book and the workbook can be used with or without each other, but I found them to work great together. The workbook has tons of games to keep you busy. Yes. Tons. It may look thin, but the amount of different activities actually boggled my mind for more than a few minutes. Real thought was put into these books. They are really worth the time to read and enjoy if you like zombie books. (And of course you do. You're here aren't you?)

What I didn't:

Not a thing. They were great.

Overall impression:

The main book is a zombiefied Dummies book for the newly undead. It covers every possible scenario and is witty, snarky and incredibly funny even as you are learning how to co-exist with Girl Scouts and do the latest dance moves.

The workbook is just packed with all kinds of different games and activities. It challenges your mind, and keeps you wanting more.

5 out of 5 stars for both the workbook and main book. Great job David Murphy for making me strain my brain. It hurts now! (Double thumbs up.)
