    Cracked does not disappoint!

    You Might Be a Zombie is a funny, interesting read. It's an interesting book you'll pick up multiple times. The exclusive articles are worth it, too. A must-buy if you're a fan of Cracked. If not, buy it anyway, because it's hilarious.

    This book will make you funnier and smarter than your friends.

    This book is teeming with hilarious, yet true facts you didn't know about the events and people you've heard about all your life. If you read this around other people, be prepared to be stared at for laughing out loud.



    I highly recommend this book for anyone with a sense of humor and/or a coffee table. Your dinner guests can enjoy Cracked humor while you're busy burning their supper.

    Hi-larious!

    I laughed my way all the way through this book! I love all things Cracked, and I hope to see more like this from them in the future. I'll for sure recommend this book to friends, and I'll even lend it out to those I trust. Can't wait to read it again!

    Great Read - Humorous! But...

    I really enjoyed this book, and do recommend it not only for the knowledge, but the laughs. I think that the term "god-damned" is over-used and was not really necessary, but was funny as hell in one context. I'm not offended by the term, but others may be and I felt they should be advised. There were no other instances of cursing that I remember off-hand. The publisher may want to consider cleaning it up a bit to make it more palatable, but for me - a great read, and recommended if you can handle it.

    Simply awesome

    This book is awesome, it contains facts that are so important but few people seem to know them. I really recommend everyone buying it, at least to have something to think about, but trust me, you won't be able to put this book down once you start reading it.

    Fun and fast

    The articles are interesting, random and funny. They are also free on the website...but unless you carry a computer everywhere you go, the book is definitely worth the money.

    Amusing and surprisingly accurate

    An amusing romp through the hysterical literary genius that is the Cracked writing staff and the horror of reality packed into one book. Quite enjoyable, I'd suggest getting this any day of the week.

    Shameless Profiteering- It's still good

    All the goodness you'd expect from the crack team at Cracked. Full of articles about what's in your food that your really didn't wish to know about as well an interesting article about the many near misses we had on a nuclear holocaust. The laughs and the wonder that you get from this book make it well worth your time. You have to love the foreword they have in their book. The only difference between real life and fiction is that real life is stranger. And they've got the documentation to prove it.

    Pretty funny - but kinda rants.

    Interesting stuff, but the manner of delivery makes me doubt the truthfulness of the facts.
