Max Brooks is convinced that the zombie apocalypse is coming. Is it a ploy to get us to buy his books? What do you think?

oh its most definitely a ploy to get us to by his books. after all hes an entertainer. he just found his niche, but that doesn't keep his books from being entertaining and in some case's informative. If you're good at something never do it for free, thats how the world works.

I think he has to make his fans feel like the undead virus will happen because it gives credit to him and his books. If not then no one will take him seriously.

I'm hoping it happens soon...Damn it, I got people to kill and zombies to love....Oh wait!!! I mean zombies to kill and people to love....Naaaah, I like it better the first way I said it....(LOL)

   Look, I have both the Zombie Survival guide and World War Z in hard copy and digital...And I have compared it the survival guide with many others that are out there, but let me tell you this, some of the things in his book are simular to other guides, but a few things are kind of far fetched in Max Brooks guide...

   BUt I will say this, Max did relight the fire within me to be better prepared for a viral outbreak...

stupid sexy zombies, hahaha yeah i loved both his books and the survival guide was a little far-fetched on some of the stuff it said but still very enjoyable read. but for best deference against the undead i always turn to my well used copy of the zombie survival guide.

The one book I really got a bunch of really good information from was Roger Ma's The Zombie Combat Manual and a little 5 dollar pocket edition of Outdoor survival guide (Ultimate guide for short term survival)...

   Plus if I could get a pic of all the zombie books and zombie guides in which I have on my kindle, a lot of people would most like crap their pants...From everything that is on my kindle, I had lost count at 116 books...

   But I have to give Max Brooks credit, he did bring a lot of survival advice out of the "special groups" area and slapped it in the face of the mainstream....

   SO to him you have to give props too...I mean, look how far he took it...
