World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


I loved that book. It tells a story of what happens to earth if a zombie "virus" would take over.
It is written interview style which each chapter with a unique character.
It is similar to WWII, where the menace is ignored at the beginning, then we have enormous losses, then the resistance organizes and finally victory.
It respects zombie cannon without falling into the stupidity of recent zombie movies (e.g. every shot is a head shot).
If you accept the principle of the story, it makes a lot of sense.
The movie with Brad Pitt was a total disaster and did not give the honor that such a fun book deserves.
