Customer Reviews

An entertaining read with some good points

This book was an amusing read, and much easier to get through than most "business" books. It had a lot of points that made a lot of sense (including referencing Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" - also a great read), but should be taken with a grain of salt, particularly given today's economy. While the advice is good (being focused, paying attention to detail and making sure things are done properly, etc), I'm not sold on the "become ZEO/CEO in a year" methodology. Sure, staging a coup in your business sounds like a great, fun, idea. But in reality - I think it's probably not the best plan for those of us who would like to get A(head) of the game, but really DO need our jobs. Overall, very informative, very enjoyable, but needs a lot of salt.

Good

I bought this book at a Waldens during a store closing sale the mall. I would have to say that this is a great read! I am about half way done with the book and I'm stiches. Like the other reviews said it's pretty much a business help book except zombie jokes mixed in. Isn't what this is supposed to be? This is a funny book. Don't let the other reviews frighten you off, this is a great book.

A Great Read

My wife picked this one up for me at a convention. I got it home and put it on the shelf and forgot about it until a few days ago. Boy do I wish I had read it sooner. This is a small book, but packed with good business and zombie info. If you are looking for a unique zombie book, this one is it. The author takes a business manual and adds a little zombie flavor to it. I will be going back to read this one again.

If you like zombies, and dislike idiotic business-world stuff...

...there is no reason you should not get this book. It's cheap and more than worth the money. Kenemore skewers the idiocy of the business world nicely and I am already have had my consciousness altered. Where my coworker might have been merely a pale, sunken-eyed yes-man on Monday, I now see him as merely a zombie minion of zombie #1 - our high-functioning zombolic boss.

Hilarious Follow-Up To The Zen of Zombie

These days everyone wants to be a sexy, successful, take-charge ad man with a mysterious past. But who's more mysterious, more confident, more bold, more tenacious - and therefore more sexy - than a zombie? Scott Kenemore has provided us all with the answer: no one. Buy this book and get that fantastic career you've always wanted - the zombie way.
