I don't think this was a bad book. It really was exactly what it claimed to be "An Oral History of the Zombie War". So really it's kind of my fault for not taking that literally. It truly did read like a History book. I know that a lot of people really liked this book but it just wasn't for me.


This book is told from multiple character's point's of view from all over the world. Each person's story was about 6-12 pages long (on my nook) and the first 3-6 pages typically was them explaining the way their country was originally(before the zombie war). There was lots of political talk so there were times when I was kind of lost. Maybe that's my fault because I'm not really that knowledgable about how politics and religion work in every country, but I have a hard time believing most people do. Anyways, when you are done hearing about that then you get to the zombie action, which is the good stuff in my opinion. It was all very matter of fact though. Don't get me wrong, there were definitely some interesting stories, but just as I was getting into the story and getting a feel for the voice telling the story, it's over and you are on to the next person's account. It just all felt very detached to me, and that made it hard for me to really get into this book.

Honestly there were a few times when I almost called it quits because I have 2 AMAZING books that came out sitting on my home screen teasing me, and I was basically just dragging my feet trying to "get through" this book. So basically if you are into reading a fictional history book with some zombies thrown in the mix, then this is the book for you! Unfortunately I am not one of those people. Oh well, on to bigger and better things!
