review 1: The world is a savage place. This book details the life cycles of various parasites, viruses and fungi as they take over their host and create the conditions they need to reproduce. Great things about this book are: photographs (these are fantastic and all taken by different photographers), the zombie premise (a current draw for kids today), layout (consistent throughout, with the story and then a section called "the science behind the story" which shares how scientists worked in the field to understand these creatures), website connections and further reading suggestions in the back. Overall just a fascinating and well done book. I will be ordering this for the library.
review 2: 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th I learned so much reading this book, and I conside... morer myself to be a nature info junkie. The pictures and text has a lot of gross-out factor that many kids will like, probably more than some of the adults that read it! Not for the faint of heart! The other day I found a dead fly on my window sill and I got down for a closer look. I had to see if it spent its final hours as a zombie...aren't you curious to read this book?! less
