Z.E.O is a small, off-sized book that’s part humor, part business survival guide and part “for dummies” book. Presentation seems to be as important as content, with sidebars, zombies in the workplace illustrations and chapters that one suspects would make excellent PowerPoint presentations. Nonfiction, yet completely silly, Z.E.O shows a strong correlation between the sort of minds that conquer the business world and zombies- not an entirely kind metaphor, though it has an amusing point.
Because of the over-the-top comical writing and the lack of a story, Z.E.O is really a gift book, particularly for office Secret Santas or zombie fans, or even not-quite gag gifts to college grads, because the kind of person who would adore this book should own it, not borrow it.
Contains: Gory illustrations
did you actually read this book? Your review is ridiculous! This book is brilliant! Funny referential jokes through out! I did a spit take for almost every chapter! This was one of the smartest, funniest books in the Zombie genre yet! Maybe you should go back and actually read it before you review it or attempt to. . this book is 5 stars all the way! Even better than the first book! I know I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer. .
I did read and enjoy the book very much. However the site I reviewed Z.E.O. for is primarily intended for public libraries. In my opinion Z.E.O. should be owned not borrowed, and hilarious or not, it’s value to a public library is limited. The intended purpose and audience of the review site does come into play.
