About this listen

Here is a scientific look at zombies - and the ultimate guide to how the other half lives (or not). How fast and far would a zombie infection spread? What would a nutritionist say about an all-brain diet? Why are the undead so pissed off? Here are the answers to all of your essential zombie questions (you know you've asked them), with a lively, science-based exploration of every aspect of the undead.

The first book to examine the possible science of our undead brethren, from what a zombie brain looks like to why zombies don't get fat, this is a fact-based look at zombies through the lens of real science. It's a perfect gift for zombies (assuming they could read) and zombie-philes. Dripping with great zombie factoids and insights, The Proper Care and Feeding of Zombies will flesh out your understanding of the living dead.

Any additional comments?

I didn't like how the reader changed his voice to sound "nerdish" when quoting from scientific papers. It really wasn't necessary nor appropriate..

Amusing way to incorporate zombies into life
