Comment on structure

Brooks structures his book as a survival guide, with seven sections. Each section is divided into subsections and methodically organized, reflecting Brooks' emphasis on science and reasoning, even in the face of the unreasonable. The first section introduces the idea of zombies and explains what they are. The next section explains how to fight zombies. These two sections set up the rules of Brooks' zombie-filled world and serve as an introduction to the book. Brooks immediately decries any supernatural elements of zombies and firmly puts the onus for survival on the ability of humans to think rationally and act intelligently.
