Book - World War Z
By techmonkey | September 29, 2007
A couple months ago I finished reading the book “World War Z - An Oral History Of The Zombie War”. It was recommended to me by my friend Linuxchic. I have to admit that I’m not a big reader by any means, but I really enjoyed this book.
I think this description from Wikipedia summarizes the book well:
The book charts the war against the undead from global pandemic to mass panic, and then to the eventual armed struggle to reclaim the planet. Rather than a grand overview or a single perspective, World War Z is instead a collection of individual accounts, each revealing an aspect of the larger plot and simultaneously presenting a very personal tale. These different accounts take the form of interviews.
Yep, that’s right, Z is for “zombie”. The book is written with what I consider a realistic view of what things could happen if there ever were real zombies.
I really liked the way the book was broken up into small sections to cover the the various “interviews” in the story. This made it very easy to pick up even when I only had a few minutes to read. I think the overall story and the manner in which it was written is excellent. I would definitely recommend this book.
