I posted this here to get lucid, non-mouthbreathing responses and now that I got one I find I have no idea how to respond :)
I'm glad you agree. I read the Zombie Survival Guide after this ran and I loved it, but I thought Max Brooks' explanations for things were just cop-outs. Entertaining and part of his world he created, but just pure deus ex machina.
The 2 biggest retorts I got were "Biting is terrible for spreading disease? What about fleas and mosquitoes?!" Obviously written by someone who didn't read the actual entry. The other one that killed me was the "carnivores don't eat dead meat." Huh? Ignoring the obvious it HAS to be dead to not run away, pretty much every apex predator is more than happy to chew on a corpse that's been laying around because food is food and wild animals give less than a fuck about Michelin ratings.
It kills me that people have reacted like I was purposely trying to ruin the genre for them, when in most cases I am willing to bet they weren't even born yet when I started watching zombie movies ('94. Shit, I'm old.....)
