5 out of 5 stars The No. 1 Zombie Book   April 28, 2008
To me this is the book to have if you have no other zombie book - I like it more than any other book and have actually read it more than twice - which is a first for me! There is so much detail and knoweldge in this book, the story is so tied in to reality that you could just believed that this has all really happened. The ideas are so scarey and so real that its the sort of book you could discuss indefinately.

BEST BOOK - BUY IT NOW!

'World War Z', like Brooks 'Zombie Survival Guide', draws you in until your actually start to live the story. It is written in an interview format, where various people recount their experiences during the zombie war, but half way through you really start to live the story and imagine it could be real. The level of detail Brooks adds to this story is staggering and really adds to the overall reality in the book. It is extremely easy to read and looks at all aspects of life around a zombie outbreak, army response and mutiny, new society development, government plans to escape and then fight back, living on water, eradicating the zombies in water, how civilians fought back, dealing with being stranded in a zombie infested area etc etc the list goes on and is exhaustive. If you like zombie books and movies and if you enjoyed 'The Zombie Survival Guide' (which I kind of recommend you read first) then this is the very book for you. Highly recommended.


3 out of 5 stars Great idea but....   October 12, 2007

The opening few chapters / diaries are soooo boring and it takes an age to get going. Some of the tales of battles are really gripping though. Overall i would recommend this to fans of the Survival Guide.


4 out of 5 stars Very good zombie stories   October 2, 2007
Takes a little bit of getting used to but it is very well done. Some of the stories are better then others. Well worth the read. I believe they are making it into a movie! Can't wait.
