A Zombie's History of the United States: From the Massacre at Plymouth Rock to the CIA's Secret War on the Undead

Meh. I read the first 50 pages and wondered what I was still doing holding the book. Let me explain...
This book reads like an high school history book, punching out facts with little flow or desire to intrigue the reader. I was half-hoping that a story would develop but, alas, no such luck. It stumbles through historical landmarks in time giving very little detail and glossing over the whole point of why I bought the book - the zombies.
Each section gives a brief synopsis of the events that took place during a moment in history and then says something to the effect of, "and there were zombies there too". One part explains that the Boston Massacre wasn't necessarily a vicious attack on civilians by British troops but rather those troops firing into a mob of people trying to exterminate a few zombies that were peppered throughout.
I don't recommend this book because, although a parody, it serves no entertainment value whatsoever.
