Product Description

Review

'An absolute must have... Brooks infuses his writing with such precise detail and authenticity, one wonders if he knows something we don't' --Simon Pegg on 'World War Z'

'So meticulous and well researched that it's more scary than funny' --Esquire on 'The Zombie Survival Guide'

Max Brooks is so straightforward, so sensible and logical about everything, that you start to believe him when he begins talking about the necessary steps needed for an average American to outlast a worldwide plague of flesh eating zombies, This practical approach is exactly what makes his book 'The Zombie Survival Guide' so funny --Fangoria

Product Description

THOSE WHO DON'T LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT. From the Stong Age to the information age, the undead have threated to engulf the human race. They're coming. They're hungry. DON'T WAIT FOR THEM TO COME TO YOU! This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake... every civlization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic stories - complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the hideous faces of the undead. ORGANISE BEFORE THEY RISE! Scripted by the world's leading zombie authority, Max Brooks, 'Recorded Attacks' reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with - and survived - the ancient viral plague. By immersing ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming outbreak in our time.

By Edd B
Format:Paperback
I'm a big fan of World War Z and really liked the last section from Zombie Survival Guide about historical battles (the rest was pretty dull though). The problem with Recorded Attacks is it just reproduces the actual stories from the last section of the Zombie Survival Guide with gory illustrations... the only new material is the pictures!

It's also very quick to read... not much more than an hour cover to cover. I'm not big on graphical novels though so take that as you choose.

On the plus side, I did get into the book and really liked it (for as long as it lasted)... it's probably more enjoyable for someone who hasn't read the Zombie Survival Guide and it really could have done with a bit more content.

Having been given the Zombie Survival Guide as an ironic gift by some friends who are rather sarcastic about my fondness of a good zombie story, I bought this just to rub it in. And it's really a great and fun read. Some will complain it's a short read. Yes, it's short but it's extremely sweet and I find that zombie mayhem is best enjoyed in such short bursts, before it has time to turn stale and repetitive. Even though Max Brooks claims it wasn't intended as satire of anything, it just does it anyway and in a really good manner. With a pseudo-historical manner of writing and ample jibes at human ignorance, arrogance and willful blindness, it's quite nice to see a writer who isn't afraid to cast humans as victims rather than survivor big damn heroes.

Graphic Novel 12 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
I am a big fan of Max Brooks and his Zombie books, and enjoyed this new addition, even though the book is quite small and an easy read, the drawings are brilliant.
Slightly overpriced, if you love your zombies then you need to get this.
