I wonder how that would have affected my reading if I had known. Well I’ll be damned: I didn’t know he was Mel’s son. I wonder how that would have affected my reading if I had known.

I think Brooks (Mel's son!!!!) wrote this book when he realized how popular the last portion of his previous book was- the part dealing with various zombie incidents throughout history and around the globe. I was expecting THAT book to be funny, and was disappointed. It was funny only in its excess of clinical detachment, and it sort of poo-pooed the Romero "rules". But the last portion was interesting. With this book I knew more what to expect, and enjoyed it. As a bit of a zombie-phile, it is far from my favorite bit of zombie media, but it is somewhat unique in the undead canon.
