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.
