Mr. Guess has a great imagination and I found myself enjoying this book in spots but ultimately, the format was just too unwieldy to work for me.  A journal-style book works in this genre (see Day by Day Armegeddon) but the idea of publicly sharing details about your day-to-day existence with people trying to kill you just seems dumb.  If their only opposition were zombies it would make sense, but from the first few entries we see that the zombies are merely a sideshow.  I did like the misdirection the author uses to throw off the "looters" from time to time, but really, why would you risk it?I have seen other authors use diary entries effectively interspaced with the story, but these blogs are all we have to go on here.  Based on the reviews I have seen, this works for some readers but just is not enough for me.
