CAN YOU SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE? is not a book for kids or young teens, but it bring me back to the magic of that first time in 3rd grade. The premise is that you are a 20 something slacker at a job in NYC when a zombie virus breaks out and takes over Manhattan. The choices you make will determine whether you survive - or not. There is only one THE END (which I found on my second try) but there are many AN ENDs, some where you survive, most where you die in some gruesome fashion.
You might find yourself rolling with the Hell's Angels, shooting at Zombies from the observation deck of the Statue of Liberty, running through the tunnels of the NYC subway, smoking pot with a neighbor, or attending a conference where you can't determine the real zombies from the zombie fans made up just to look like zombies. It's a fun ride written in a breezy, irreverent style.
CAN YOU SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE? comes out February 8th. Find out more about it at the author's website.
I'm giving it four Zombie Chickens!

I loved Choose Your Own Adventure stories! I was just telling my husband about those the other day...
This books sounds like an enjoyable throw back to those CYOA books.
Awesome! Thanks for the head's up! :)
Sounds like fun! I bet Vance would love this!
I'm sure my son Marc would love this one and yes, he could survive the Zombie Apocalypse!
Sounds fun! I loved checking CYOA books out from the library. (I totally cheated and looked at both options sometimes.)
I'd probably die. I'm kind of a wimp. Especially when it comes to zombies, I think. I'm much more comfortable reading about them from the safety from my couch.
This book sounds awesome! I can't wait to read it and see if I'd survive.
I used to read those choose you own adventure books all the time, and recently found some for my kids. They are just great, aren't they? This one sounds like a lot of fun too, and I just love that cover! Thanks for sharing this one with us!
Love the zombie chickens, sick of zombies.
This actually sounds like something I would LOVE and I never got the full experience with the CYOA books because I think they are quite American! i feel like I missed somehting vital from my childhood!
my brother was talking about this book the other day...it sounds like a hoot!
I just read my first path.
I just wanted to say that this book is filled with action, violence, excitement, crude humour, and best of all. It paints a picture.
Fucking amazing book.
