dsrtao_The Zombie Survival Guide_, Max Brooks
The title of this book is a lie! It's not about how zombies can survive at all!
I think Max Brooks has spent too much time thinking about zombies.
I don't like his 'Solanum' explanation. If it's a natural infectious entity, then I can believe brain damage and voracious hunger and unrelenting violence and insensitivity to pain... but I can't buy the "actually dead" part. And if they're dead shambling horrors, then a supernatural explanation is called for.
