Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Zombies - Matt Mogk

One Sentence Summary:
Everything you ever wanted to know about zombies.... literally... a history of zombie culture.

Review:
This is a very comprehensive non-fiction look at zombies. It starts at the very beginning of zombies in popular culture and touches on everything you ever wanted to know about zombies. Written in short entertaining segments Mogk touches on the "scientific" reasons that there would be a zombie uprising, zombie books and movies and adds in a smattering of tips on how to survive a zombie uprising. I recommend this to anyone who considers themselves a zombie enthusiast.

7/10

There are 3 possible ratings

The first is overall as in overall how good I think the book is

1-2 DO NOT READ,

3-4 Maybe read if you are in a cabin stuck for days and there is absolutely nothing else to read,

5-6 if you like the genre go for it,

7-8 if you think you might like the genre but aren't really sure go for it,

9-10 even if you hate the genre read this book

The second (which will be pink/purple) is the "smut rating", for trashy romance which rates totally on ease of read, story, sex and happy endings

The third (which will be in green because I like green) is "for the younger reader" as in would a young teen get a kick out of this and put down the XBox controller long enough to finish the book (that being 10/10)

Also I will categorize these books -

Elementary School (no sex/violence easy to read in grade 4 but subject appropriate for younger kids too),

Middle School (no sex, some violence but not nightmare inducing and easy to read at grade 6-9) and

High School (good enough for an adult but with teenage characters may include sex / violence OR coming of age stories OR a book I just think should be read before adulthood).
