You have choices to make.

Moral dilemmas.

Strategic decisions.

Weapons. Vehicles.

Will you be a hero?

Or will you cover your own ass at all costs?

Can you withstand the coming hours, days, weeks, and months? Or will you die amidst the chaos and violence of a zombie uprising?

Or, worst of all, will you become one of them?

Review

"Creepy, chilling, and lots of nasty fun! Max Brallier gives the pick-your-own-path format a devious and very adult twist."
—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and The Dragon Factory

"Funny, smart and damned gruesome. Way too much fun." – David Moody, author of Hater

"A fun pastiche of B-movie zombie fantasy and interactive horror novel . . . A boy’s own adventure that breathes a little well-deserved juvenile humor into the apocalypse." -- Kirkus

"Brallier's book may just be the best thing to happen to literary zombies since Max Brooks." -- Jacksonville Florida Times Union

Read over Harry Potter !?!?

Reviewed in Canada on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is pure, simple fun. I was a little concerned that it would tend towards boys/guys based on the cover but this means little when enjoying the book. Simply put, you get to decide over what you will do in a variety of situations and you either live (sometimes live in waiting for a rescue) or die (usually as dinner to zombies) based on the decision. If you grew up with Montgomery's choose your adventure books, you have to read this book. It's like this genre of books grew up with you and this is distinctively adult. Not necessarily for kids as the flavour is distinctively adult... not lewid or anything like that but more graphic in describing the situations. Anyhow, a very good read!

Really fun choose-your-own-adventure book

Reviewed in Canada on April 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have fond memories of reading choose-your-own-adventure books growing up. These are books that put you as the main character, offering you choices that lead to different outcomes. That's the basic format of the book. The premise is equally simple: zombies have broken out in New York. These zombies are like Romero zombies (dumb, man-eating, bite causes zombie-ism, head shot to kill) only they can run quickly. Your job is simple- survive the outbreak.

The content of this book is surprisingly well-written for the zombie genre, which is normally pretty boring rehash or simple gore. While there is some gore in here, this book doesn't glorify it. There's also drugs, guns, girls, booze, bikers, and buds. All in all, the content is, in my opinion, more AA-14 than "R"-rated. Nothing too explicit in any context, but enough to make the book interesting, funny, and full of action. If you're a fan of zombie movies, there's a ton of inside references throughout this book, as well as to general pop-culture references from the 90's through to now. My guess as that the author is around 30, and writes for his generation. And as I said, he writes well.

Granted, this is nothing close to Shakespear, but it's not meant to be. It's meant to be a bit of fun reading. At close to 400 pages though, there's lots of reading and lots of different choices and paths. I think there's about 9 or so main different plot lines that you can choose, each one full of many ways to die and only one or two ways to live (I survived my first read through the book, future attempts were more mixed). There's lots of variety in the kind of decisions you make, the settings (from suburbia to sewers to skyscrapers), the people you are with (bikers, babes, bozos, and more), the weapons you use (all kinds of regular and improvised weapons), and the choices you have to make (save some kids, let the girl die, sacrifice yourself for a group, etc.). The author has a good sense of humor, and uses it often to emphasize certain choices as being particularly good or particularly bad. My favorite scene had to be the comic book convention, which featured costumed super-heroes fighting real zombies. Classic fun!

All in all then, if you're a fan of light pop fiction, choose-your-own-adventures, and/or zombies, then I highly recommend this book. The writing is great, the illustrations are decent (nothing to write home about), but overall, it's just a fun and easy way to spend a few minutes here and there as you try out different decisions to see what happens. For fans of this kind of reading, it's an easy five stars.

A fun, easy to read zombie apocalypse

Reviewed in Canada on July 27, 2011

The book is quite well written, and it tries to avoid the typical zombie clichés we know all too well. The book isn't going to win a Pulitzer, but the writer knows how to link sentences together and understands concepts like grammar and spelling (okay, maybe his editor does and the author doesn't, but you get my point). But the reading is light and fun and you can go through a dozen or more different endings in an hour or two.

A word of warning, it's not R-rated, but it's also not PG. There is not only gore, but also babes, booze, buddies, drugs, guns, melee weapons to name a few. That's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. If you're a fan of zombie movies, you'll recognize lots of inside references littered throughout the book. The book runs almost 400 pages, and has dozens of different endings, both happy and unhappy. I think there are about a dozen main plot lines, each with several ways to die and fewer ways to survive. Finally, the book offers lots of different settings, from downtown Manhattan to the NY subway system to Liberty Island to suburban New York state as well as offering you opportunities to go it alone or team up with other people you meet along the way.

The first time I read the book, I didn't survive, my paranoia got the better of me and I tried to do something I shouldn't have (trying to avoid a SPOILER ALERT here). Other readings, I wasn't nearly paranoid enough. The story has lots of unique storylines and subplots, many of which are downright hilarious or oddball. In one you wind up meeting a bunch of kids/teenagers on a zombiewalk, while in another, you're given the choice to light a joint or not. That is just a sample of the interesting decisions and storylines the book offers.

Overall this is a fun and easy read that will entertain you.

So, so, disappointed... Avoid!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

While a great idea, I feel that this sadly suffers from really not knowing it's audience. Each "scene" is generally ludicrous, with equally meaningless "choices". The character, the "you" is so obnoxious that I was kind of glad when he died and died and died and died again. As book made for adults it's truly bizarre that the author should be so childish (without necessarily being funny, even though that's the clear aim). For an author who knocks out books left, right and centre, it's amazing that a publisher hasn't sat him down with a dictionary... Your character is 27 and thinks/ talks like an imbecile. Genuinely awful and an utter waste of money

A fun choose your own zombie apocalypse story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

This arrived earlier in the week and I am really enjoying it thus far. It’s a fun read and absorbing in how the author writes it from your perspective as a reader. I guess my only gripe so far would be a couple of negative descriptions of other character’s physical appearance - ie “four eyes” for someone wearing glasses. I’m probably just being overly sensitive but it makes me feel like “I” am a bit of a d**k with how I judge people and the character of “me” hasn’t been super likeable as yet.

Aside from that, lots of fun and very immersive.

Has been done so much better elsewhere

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is moderately entertaining overall, but almost everything else about it is mediocre. Choose Your Old Adventure or Fighting Fantasy books are decades old, and have had years to improve over the substandard prose, lack of a consistent viewpoint, sexism, stereotypes, and basic mechanics of this book.

Do yourself a favour and read those instead, or play pretty much anything made by Inkle (Around the World in 80 Days, Sorcery!) on your tablet/phone/computer.

My Brother Hasn't Put This Down!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my brother as his birthday present a while ago, and out of all of his presents (including a PS4!) he likes this book the best.

My brother is Autistic, so when I'm buying him any books/comics, I have very strict guidelines: "have to be zombies or superheroes, but no 'lame' ones. And if you can get choose your own adventures, then that'd beat anything!"

So, I had spent literally days searching Amazon and managed to find this little gem of a book that my twenty-one year old brother has never put down once since getting it!

He loves this book and yes, it is adult with mentions of drugs and-I think-sexual scenes, but to be fair, zombie books and shows are adult anyway.

Now I'm dreading topping this present, but I'd recommend the book for anyone who loved Goosebumps choose your own, as kids, and want a more adult version.

Great bit of nostalgia

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2018

Very enjoyable, a bit of nostalgia on my part, used to love these game books, but is made much easier on Kindle as you jump straight to the page of the path you have chosen, and no need of dice, although that did used to add a bit of luck to the game.
