The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead Image
The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead (Horror) 60(2)
Published by Three Rivers Press on September 16, 2003
  
SF Site Review Rating: 60
In short, if you are faced with the living dead and wish to make good your escape and plan for your survival, this is the book for you. If you are picky about your biology and have some concerns at the limited nature of the undead described, then perhaps not.

If you do decide to experience Cornish's world, make sure that you set aside some time to do it. This is a book that is worth savouring.

SF Site Review Rating: 80
The real star of the book is not the narrator but the writing. Dakron is a poet and his skill with words makes this book shine.

[...] it's a very clever take on the parallel worlds idea and how the discovery of such (including worlds found in fiction) would alter our own world.

If Mr. Perelmuter had taken one of these stories and expanded it with more detail then perhaps it could have worked.

SF Site Review Rating: 60
I like a bit of frailty in my heroes, however, others prefer those who are more superhuman. This is a book for those who like larger than life, blockbuster heroes mixed with a fantastic action plot. I'll just wait for her next book.

SF Site Review Rating: 60
Given what I've seen of Brown's writing, I suspect that this is just a setup for the twist of the third act but I can't help but wish there had been a bit of a hint of darkness to come.

SF Site Review Rating: 40
If you like stories about mystic China or about magic in the modern world, this is probably worth a look, but it is not a stand-out example of either genre. It's a good idea but an unpolished execution.

It's good, gripping even. I just couldn't put it down. However, good as it was, I couldn't bring myself to like it.
