Zombies have always been popular with a certain segment of
the teen population. That popularity has increased recently due to the success
of movies like “Zombieland” and the TV show “The Walking Dead.” Serena
Valentino capitalizes on this attraction for the undead with a unique, funny,
interesting guide for zombies. There have been books telling humans how to
survive a zombie apocalypse, but this book is geared for the newly risen zombie
instead and serves as the “Essential Guide for Anyone Who Craves Brains.”
Valentino counsels the novice zombie on his origins, offers suggestions on
finding fresh brains to eat, and gives advice on the latest fashions for the
undead. She also lists the essential zombie books and movies for further
information.
Even non-zombie fans will find Valentino’s book to be a
fun and worthwhile read. The book is full of useful hilarious information. In
the chapter “How to Pass as a Human,” Valentino warns that “Humans rarely
lurch, moan, or bite each other, so you should cut back on these habits.”
Colorful photographs of zombies are interspersed throughout the book adding to
its visual appeal. Zombie fans will most likely want to buy their own copy, but
libraries should have one as well.
