Fantastic
I got this book for the holidays from my husband and I could not put it down. I finished it in a few days, took it to work & read with it hiding under my desk. It was completely engrossing & suspenseful & terrifying. It has so many perspectives, & all of them are completely believable. Max Brooks makes a
zombie
apocalypse seem like a very real nightmare, & has presented an image of what the
world
could actually be like in the event of one. You will prepare your home & family.
One of the scariest books ever!
I would just like to say that I am a week out from finishing this book and I still cannot sleep! The author did a wonderful job of creating a post-apocalyptic
world
, I particularly like the descriptions of the changes the military had to make to face the
zombie
s, as did my husband who happens to be a military weapons instructor. His descriptions are in depth and he created a good range of characters to give the full scale of the disaster. Very well written!

Very nicely done!
I loved all the different stories about one theme from different times in the
war
. The writing is crisp. The stories are interesting. The characters are real. This guy can write!
Are you ready for the attack?
Honestly, I don't know what to say about this book other than it scared the crap out of me. The
Zombie
s of this story could be replaced by anything a super bug, bird flu and any enemy; it would still apply. Each short story is told from a specific person's point of view, which I really enjoyed. I hope that the author writes more on this subject!!
A great approach
Another
world
war
...only this time it is against
ZOMBIE
S!
Max Brooks brings us a new approach to the zombie tales. This book contains the interviews of a reporter during this war. The interviews range from military personel, civilians, etc. The books do not delve into how the zombie plague started, just on how people were effected and the correct and incorrect solutions that people and governments tried.
WWZ was an enjoyable read. It looked at this zombie war through a nubmer of different individuals which made it interesting. While the book didn't go into the causes of the outbreak, it definitely went into the effects of the outbreak. The reporter takes us to several different countries.
It is a good summer read. Not too scary or graphic. Some of the interviews are great and bring the tension of the battles against the zombies and the struggles to sruvive. This book was far better than Brooks' 'Zombie Survival Guide' which I found too repetative.
I would recommend this book to all zombie fans.
