A easy summer to get lost in. I felt the out of order placing of the interview told a more complete story of what happened. Even though there are so many different nationality supposedly telling their version of the zombie war, Mr Brook really presented one long story of uprising, fear defeat and re...
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War - Max Brooks This was my second go-round with World War Z by Max Brooks, and it didn't take long for me to remember why I gave up on it the first time around. I enjoyed the epistolary style and it certainly had a few moments where the content of the ...
I'm not a huge fan of zombie stories, but I got interested in this book after reading the free sample on my kindle. I like the way that the story is told, though there isn't a lot of action because of the style.
This is a novel that you will either love or hate. Right now you're thinking: really, wow, no kidding! in the most sarcastic form of thinking you can muster. But I mean what I write. This is certainly a polarising novel. The format, the ideas, the political agenda and the very writing will either si...
The premise is brilliant -- telling the story of the so-called Zombie War from a variety of points of view. And this does feel very much like one of those real oral history collections, especially if you listen to the recorded version. (Just be sure you get the complete one, and not the abridged -- ...
This book was construed to be something different for anyone who saw the movie. SO DIFFERENT. I saw this funny chart from The Oatmeal showing the similarities between the book and the movie, they nailed it. So yes, the book and the movie had NOTHING to do with each other. Some people read this book...
This novel could have been much more entertaining than it was. My main quibble: The book is a series of interviews with survivors of The Zombie Wars, but, there is little to no difference between the voice of the interviewer and the interviewees. For me, this presented a major problem. The book...
The font size of this book is pretty small, so it took me a while to finish. Started off slow, no backstory or whatever, you're learning the 'history' of something you don't know anything about. It got really good and disturbing near the end. I wish he had elaborated more on what happened in the iso...
I never thought I would read or enjoy a book about zombies. But, I do love massive and immersive books so I suppose I am not surprised. I don't usually read a lot about global politics, real or fictional, so it was challenging in a fruitful way, both in terms of the ideas in the book and the convers...
