World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
by Max Brooks
I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would! It's basically a collection of fictional records from people who experienced (and survived) the zombie apocalypse. 'World War Z' has only been over for a few years and a major clean up is still happening, a fact that I really liked. I mean, you never really think about how zombies would get frozen in ice, or remain underwater ...basically forever, meaning there would always be a risk of another outbreak happening!
I really enjoyed the fact that the book gave readers the apocalypse through the eyes of people from different countries and different cultures. I find that a majority o,f well, anything zombie tends to be American-based. But World War Z gave it to use from Nigeria, India, China, Iceland, Germany...everywhere! And how different people had to overcome different things to try and survive.
The book is completely different from the movie as well. The only thing they have in common is the name and then Israel's method of defence against the zombies (the big wall). I wouldn't let your opinion of the movie detract you from reading the book, or vice versa!
