I have loved both my Halloween Bingo reads so far, but this one exceeded my expectations. Yes the book is sort of about zombies, but it's really about geopolitics and military strategy. It's told in the form of interviews with survivors who were in the thick of things during the Zombie War. Each sto...

I have to say that a lot of people suggested that I listen to this book and what a great idea. I have to say that some of the voices sound a bit too stereotypical to my ears, but I really did enjoy listening to the so-called Zombie wars. I will say that you really do have to listen to this book. ...

This is the extended version audiobook - the original abridged audiobook with the "lost files" added in. I am not 100% sure that it includes every last word from the original book without a hard copy to reference, but it includes the chapters that I thought were important to fleshing out the in-stor...

This is what happened: I wanted to read the book, having seen the movie version with Brad Pitt and hearing (rather, reading via TVTropes and Wikipedia - solid sources of information, those sites) that the original was vastly different. Then, while clicking around here and there, I discovered that th...

He traveled across the decimated world to record their stories, from New Dachang, China where it all began to Yon...

4.75 starsI really enjoyed the style of World War Z. I like how it showed the global aspects instead of sticking to certain people. It was so interesting and seemed much more believable than any other zombie book I've read. It doesn't actually focus so much on the zombies; yet, it's still one of ...

I am just so delighted that this one didn't turn out to be a dud like the Zombie Survival Guide, now at least my money wasn't wasted. :DAs those who read my reviews, and those that saw my updates on GR, could see I wasn't amused by the accompanying book named: Zombie Survival Guide. I bought both th...

Lets start with the one thing I really didn't like about this audiobook this is the abridged version which the only version I could get my hands on. Apparently when the move came out a less abridged (but still abridged version) came out, and apparently there is an unabridged version that isn't avail...

I am not the type of person to ever stop reading a book, even if I don't like it. And I was shocked that couldn't even be bothered to finish this book because I LOVE zombies. Literally am all about them. I thought it was interesting how the book was told from a journalistic point of view but some of...
