I thought the first half was really good. It was interesting and exciting at the beginning when the zombies first started attacking. Later sections were tedious. If you are reading this book expecting it to be like the movie, don't bother. If you like zombie books, this one is okay.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about why I love re-reading books, and I mentioned that in the last year only one particular book was really disappointing when I revisited it, and that book was World War Z.When I first read it, I was only just beginning to explore the zombie genre.

This book is nothing short of brilliant. That being said it may not be for everyone.

It was the least interesting sci fi book I actually finished. Perhaps it deserves another star for getting me to finish, but the lack of drama throughout the entire book transformed the book into a work project. I wonder why it was so highly rated...

Granted, I didn't finish this book. However, I did enjoy what I read - the first half. Then it all just became too much of the same. The part I read was completely plausible (if Zombies happened to try to take over the world, I am almost certain that this book would be a great guide and will tell go...

"We have met the enemy, and he is us." Or similar.I really liked this one. I stayed away for a long time, thinking it was just another "braaaaaaains" horror show. But it ended up not really being about the zombies at all--it's about how humans (individuals, groups, families, governments) behave when...
