Book Review: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

I figured this was an appropriate topic for a book review I am posting on Halloween. 

Happy Halloween to all my readers

I was not sure if I was going to like this book at first, I somewhat expected it to be like the vampire garbage that has gotten so popular in the last few years (yes, I mean Twilight).

To my surprise, Max Brooks has written an outstanding book, I could not put it down until I finished it.

The tale is that of the zombie apocalypse and the way humanity managed to survive. What I liked most about the book was the way it was written. It is put together as a kind of notebook or memoir of a man who worked at the UN during the Zombie War and had interviewed people from all over the world about how the zombies first appeared and during the war about how it was fought. It is compelling because as you read you get the feeling that he is relating real events, it almost wants to make you look out the window for Zombies.

I would much rather read about zombies than Sparkling, love-struck vampires. If you would too, then this is the book for you to get started reading about zombies, I don’t imagine the zombie books get much better than this one

  1. That is what I like about the zombie books, they are so different from the Vampire garbage. I want desperate attempts to avoid the zombie apocalypse and heroics by the survivors not some sparkly vampire pining over his love for a high school girl

  2. I want to read this book badly. Although I agree with you here that there may be a zombie trend going on, I disagree that they are like the vampires from Twilight. Zombies are nothing like these current pop-culture vampires. Unlike these metrosexual vampires looking for human love, zombies are emotionless creatures who are only out to eat your flesh.
