I liked this, for the most part - there's a lot of good stuff here. Even with the US focus, there's still a sense of global scale that's very effective, and I enjoyed how the multiple perspectives explored different aspects of the zombie war.

My main quibble, as I was reading though, was where were the women? There were dozens and dozens of people interviewed by the narrator, and what, 4 or 5 of them were female? The first one didn't show up for 60+ pages... I was actually beginning to wonder if all the women were dead. I kept expecting some scientist or other to be interviewed halfway through, recounting how, I don't know, women were infected via airborne virus while the men had to be bitten - or something, anything, that would account for the disparity in a way that wasn't the narrator's determined bias. Then I remembered the throwaway remark about the report chairperson in in the prologue, and how she'd told the narrator to sod off with his stories and write a book. At the time I thought that was shortsighted of her, but now I'm prepared to accept that part of it was she was just utterly sick of a historian who, with so few people left, still only cared about half of them. Honestly, that's what kept it from four stars for me - the idea that half the population is a token character, and that the important personal histories of the human race during a time of uniquely devastating conflict are almost exclusively masculine.
