The Zombie Survival Guide was a great book but i feel that it had many inacurracies and that most people think that his books are the holy bible of zombie lore. But they are sold in the humor section for a reason becuase its just not real, what do you think about this?
Do you find this valuable?

He is a humor writer and it is a humor book. Unfortunately it is the only book on the market right now, and at least he did put some minimum level of thought into writing it. Many general resources around; people, books, internet, training. A person has to decide what to prepare for, and follow through.

You call that spewage? I call it sewage.

I maintain that the reason people take it so seriously is because it is NOT humorous, it fails at what it was intended to do.....Entertain. People tend to associate boring stuff with serious stuff, therefore if it's boring, it must be true [in their eyes].

When reading it I get the feeling that he wrote it as a serious book wich would concern me if a zombie outbreak ever occured becuase some of his advice would get people killed.
