review 1: This is a great little book with a few short zombie stories...If you're expecting descriptions of gore however then avoid this book, this looks more at the survivors and the war they wage upon the undead in order to survive. It deals with self sacrifice, hope and strategy. I particularly enjoyed the story 'The Extinction Parade' because it dealt with vampires too..All in all a great book if you're after something to read in a day, however it fell short of 5 stars because I would have liked to have seen more from the 2nd story.
review 2: I don't feel that such a short "book" deserves a long review, so it won't get one. Four stories are in this book, none of which are especially good or well written. One features vampires which, for me, was a complete turn off. I... more love zombies and all they represent, however I find vampires uninteresting and personally would prefer to keep the two undead creatures far distant from each other! Annoyed by that, the poor quality of the stories, and the sense that I'd paid to read something that has been created solely as a money making scam rather than an actual attempt at literature, the final nail in the coffin was the failure of the editor to pick up on "construction sight" not once but twice in the last story. This just shows how carelessly this book was put together - probably in a few hours on a Sunday afternoon when Max Brooks realised he needed more beer money. less
