I *almost* ignored this one completely when it first showed up on the shelves.? Then I gave Zombie Economics a second look.? (No, it wasn?t JUST because my pocket book has recently lightened)? My expectations were that I would find another heavy reading, boring, and information-bogged personal finance book that I would inevitably discard after 5 pages.
So what is this all about really?? It IS an information heavy personal finance book, there is no getting around that fact.? The difference is in the way it is presented.? Not only does it make fun of and fun out of finance (and more importantly, zombies and the apocalypse!) but it sets itself apart by being a bold approach to living within your means.
The friendly and approachable reading means that this book does well for many different age groups, manages to grab the attention of both adults and teens, and manages to teach even me, a bit about personal finance.? (Me! Virtually unteachable!)? I recommend this for teenagers just staring jobs, university students, and adults that are so sunk in they can?t see the light of day.
