Product Information

He tries again. "If you're staying, I want you to stay with me." I want so badly to ask him why, why he thinks he needs me, but he continues. "If you're not staying...if you're going to go through with it, wait until we're out of your way. I couldn't stand to see it." so what happens when the wrong people survive?? the ones who didn't want to survive before the world went to hell? this isn't a zombie book so much as a zombie framing device to explore damage and the difficulties of making yourself vulnerable in front of someone - of communication's pitfalls and the numbing effects of trauma. People who are ready to join the land of the living. People who are compelled to chase their nightmares. People who wonder what astronauts do when a zombie outbreak breaks…out. People who wonder what celebrities do in a zombie outbreak (Seriously Courtney Summers, get out of my mind! I always think of stuff like that!). People who wonder whether the zombies are the ones they should be worried about. People who could wield a crowbar without hitting themselves in the face with it. People who would stay on the side of zombie-infested side of the fence with me when they realise there is no chance in hell I’m going to be able to get over that because my upper body strength is non-existent. I mean we could try and find a loose slat or something but I might as well apologise to you now in the off-chance we find ourselves in that situation. In 1929 Bill Miller published “To You I Tell It” as mentioned near the beginning of this article. This crucial citation was located by researcher Bill Mullins.

By the time you finish with This is Not a Book, it may look like a well-used journal, a bulky photo album, an organized scrapbook, or a combination of all three. . . .[Smith’s] tasks are diverse and short in explanation, but they all push you to think, create or experience.”— Curled Up with a Good Book The writing here is so eerie and atmospheric. I think Courtney Summers' writing speaks to me especially because it feels very similar to how I write - the overuse of commas to add atmosphere just speaks to me on at least eighty levels and tugs at all three of my feelings. Sloane was our main character. She lived alone with her father after her sister abandoned left, and he has became even more abusive than before-and it was all centered on her. When her sister left her, she lost the will to live, the need to fight, the gumption to go on. But after the zombie virus begins, she stumbles across 'friends' from school who grab her and bring her with them in their mad dash to survive. This went against all her plans to just lay down and let the zombies have her. This went against her suicide plan. This went against everything she had planned....and so did he.This book is not about zombies, why they mutated, finding a cure, or having some badass fighting scenes with them. It just has zombies in them. This book is about survival, difficult decisions, loss and heartbreak.

Reply from Quote Investigator: Multiple researchers have attempted to locate this joke in the writings of Dorothy Parker and have been unsuccessful. Also, it is worth noting, I have always said that zombies do not scare me at all. When watching horror films, if zombies manage to get any kind of reaction from me it's usually amusement at their silly moans. But this was one hell of a creepy novel. I'm not sure why this book managed to give me chills when so many others failed, but I admit it, I was freaked out, and not always at the zombies. The joke was rephrased and reassigned to Dorothy Parker in 1962 by publisher Bennett Cerf who enjoyed collecting and popularizing quotations. Details are given further below. On the one hand, I just want to praise it, recommend it, tell you it's amazing and give it 5 stars. Well,” insisted my great-grandfather, “don’t you want a nice heavy book to throw at the dog now and then?”Sesuai dengan judulnya, saya setuju ini bukan buku. Jika hanya membaca dan melihat isinya dari awal sampai akhir, hanya membutuhkan kurang dari setengah jam. Akan tetapi, jika mengikuti instruksi dan menjawab semua pertanyaan di dalamnya, butuh waktu berhari-hari atau bahkan berminggu-minggu untuk menuntaskannya. Sekilas ini terlihat seperti sekadar permainan, tapi kenyataannya lebih dari itu. Isinya mengajak kita untuk berpikir, menggali ide-ide, mencurahkan perasaan, serta mengenali diri kita sendiri. Empat bintang. It was so easy," he said. "Just physically ... doing that. When it was over, I thought ... people ... we aren't made of anything. That's how easy it was." the thing no one tells you about surviving, about the mere act of holding out, is how many hours are nothing because nothing happens.they also don't tell you about how you can share your deepest secrets with someone, kiss them, and the next hour it's like there's nothing between you because not everything can mean something all the time or you'd be crushed under the weight of it. they don't tell you how you will float through days. you autopilot, here but not really here, sleepwalking, and then every so often you are awake. We'll become reanimated corpses navigating a sorry imitation of our glory days and this is why I don't understand the point in going on, why it's so wrong to give up. There's nothing left." An enjoyable and interactive 'board book' full of pictures that children, particularly in EYFS and Lower KS1 could engage with.
