Hands down, this might be my favorite book of the year (to date). I loved the style this was written in, as a straight up interview with different points of view from all around the world to tell a whole story.
Some of my favorite stories were:

*The Battle for Yonkers
*The Wilderness Park in Canada
*Learning about Quislings (people who acted as zombies) and bonus shout out to my place of employment "I’ve heard stories about Walla Walla, you know, the prison where hundreds of them were fed and clothed and even medically cared for."
*Kyoto, Japan and the otaku.
*The Chinese submarine story
*The Astronauts on the ISS
*Paris catacombs

I did enjoy the film based on this book, but now after reading it I feel that it could have been so much more.
That submarine story alone would have been amazing to watch on the big screen. It might be my favorite one in the whole book honestly.

Max Brooks told an amazing story through the eyes of other people.
