Book is great! Full Audio Cast is even better!

World War Z is among my favorite books ever written. I love how it is written. The academic style makes it feel even more frightening. It's one thing to have the descriptions of the dead rising to come and consume us all. It's another to read about how many governments were warned and failed to act in time to stop people from dying needlessly. And the audio version makes it even better! The full cast all hit their mark and make it even scarier.
