World War Z (September 2006)

I started read­ing this book directly on the tail-​end of The Zombie Sur­vival Guide. I have to say that where the Guide failed to impress, this book delivers.

The book takes place years after what the Guide spec­i­fied as a “Class 4″ or when Zom­bies over­threw the world, and mankind goes into hiding. The book is basi­cally a recount of peo­ples tales of what hap­pened before, during and after the “Great Panic”.

World War Z

The first thing to note is that Mr. Brooks varies his writ­ing style to give each story a life of its own. No two nar­ra­tors sounded alike, which I have to admit was an impres­sive thing to behold. The second, and easily the more impor­tant of the two, things to note is that the sto­ries for the most part man­aged to move me.

Con­sid­er­ing the entire book is a work of fic­tion, Brooks man­aged rather well to make it feel very real. What’s more is that he man­aged to make it feel very human. few authors can truly say the same.

An impres­sive read over all,

8.5/10
