Review:
If you are a zombie fan then this will be a book that interests you. Joseph McCullough's Zombies: A Hunter's Guide is written as a reference book, or survival guide to help in the event of a zombie outbreak. It’s written as a true and factual guide, similar to Max Brooks book.
The book has many great, full colour pictures to compliment the text and is broken into various sections. Zombies, covers 6 types of zombies, with each section broken into a different subsections, such as, information about the type of zombie being discussed, the creation, the identification and threat potential and the elimination and prevention.
In keeping with the, “this is a real factual book”, there is a section on real life zombie hunters, equipment, weapons and tactics that are regularly used by these hunters and the effectiveness of each.
There is also a reference section at the back of the book pointing the reader to other sources of information about zombies, such as books, movies and games.
