Max Brooks: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (2007)

“The end was near.” —Voices from the Zombie War

The Zombie War came unthinkably close …

Wow. Nothing like the movie and an intensely gripping read.

This book tells the fictional story of the Zombie War in what looks like first hand accounts with interview questions, footnotes and information about the setting. Despite this unique structure it was a real page turner that I could barely put down once I started reading. It paints a very smart picture of the choices, desparation and outcomes such a scenario would produce. And: It has nothing to do with the movie. In fact, I was surprised how different the book was.
