Just Another Reader
Just Another Reader rated it 10 years ago
I initially read this book a few years ago and decided to try out the full cast audiobook that came out last year with the terrible movie. This book almost works out better as an audiobook than a book, since the entire book is made of chapters taken from interviews of people before, during, and af...

It took me nearly forever, but I finally finished it.The book was good, it was the format it was written in that did me in. It was basically written like one of those documentaries where the whole story is told by and interviewer asking questions. There was just days (or maybe it was the specific ...

“In 1917 we left our home to make the world safe for democracy even though democracy wasn’t safe back home.” Despite 191 days in combat (longest for any unit, black or white, in World War I), despite being one of the most decorated units, and despite having the first American (black or white) be awa...

Sięgając po World War Z spodziewałem się dobrej zabawy, bo zombie apokalipsa to temat, który wciąż mi się nie znudził. Rzeczywistość jednak przerosła moje oczekiwania - powieść Maksa Brooksa okazała się czymś o wiele, wiele większym niż po prostu kolejnym produktem tak mocno eksploatowanego ostatnio...

If you've read my review of Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick, you would know that my interest in zombie apocalypse fiction has been heightened thanks to The Walking Dead. Thanks to fantastic stories behind different fictional apocalypses, my reading interests in the genre have expanded. This inevitably led me ...

As far as zombie novels go, this is the best I’ve read. I’m saying this as a person who in general, does not enjoy zombie fiction, or really zombies in any media. However I was persuaded this was worth my while, so decided to give it a go. The method is fantastic. It’s a medical disaster novel rat...

I had no intention of reading/listening to this book. I wasn't holding out for any reason other than I'm not really "into" zombies. A combination of factors wore me down (which isn't even the right term- it's not like my ears were aggressively pursued by this audiobook)- the reviews from my "respect...

As the other reviews mention, this book is seemingly dry. It's written as if the book is non-fiction, which is hilarious on so many levels. At my full-time, big-girl job, I frequently write about the empending zombie apocalypse and urge customers to prepare themselves! There was even a point in time...

World War Z taught me something about myself. It taught me that yes, I love zombies. And that's OK. The kind of Zombie story I'm used to goes a bit like this: "Hello! These are the main characters. Here they are doing things that will establish their personalities. Oh look! A newspaper in the back...
