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

The Zombie War came unthinkably close …

Review of 'World War Z' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

An interesting and fun take on the zombie apocalypse. It was an easy read and I was able to experience the terror and chaos of the war through the character narratives. Some character narratives were easier to get into than others, but they all shared a common theme of how they dealt with the war. Focusing on characters at specific events of the war gave the story a very human aspect, and this book could have easily been people describing another outbreak or catastrophic event.

The zombie war was a terrible event and they proved to be a challenging foe, but what I enjoyed about the story was how people bonded over this world altering event. The world stood together and worked towards defeating something as a team. This isn't a theme I thought I would find in a book like this but I was pleasantly surprised by the human aspect of the book more so than how the zombies attacked.
