Visceral, disturbing and chilling in its realism, World War Z is perhaps the most famous work from the world's foremost expert on our undead counterparts. Paired with the equally gripping The Zombie Survival Guide, there is no better preparation for the inevitable uprising.

"The end was near." Voices from the Zombie War.

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet.

He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.

Intresting, gripping, awesome

An interesting gripping and amazing story... I've seen many zombie movies and TV shows.. But reading about them will be this much fun, that I did not expected.... If you've seen the movie then I'll highly suggest you to read this book... Because the movie lefts out a lot of things... Iam sure you'll enjoy this..

This book may seem childish but it's far from it. It's well thought, well written and a very different expository experience. The theme is beautiful handled and the realism is captured beautifully. It's a tale of human emotions and the will to not just survive, but dominate. It's a must read ofthis decade. Don't judge this by the Brad Pitt monstrosity.
And the Amazon delivery was very prompt too. A buy worth its weight.

Not a good read if you are a zombie, otherwise 5+

I believe it is the most detailed book ever written in this particular niche. The war is detailed as best as it could have been and the interviews present a multi-faceted look at the war and account of varied approaches used by various countries.

A definite must-read for anyone who loves the Zombie niche.

This book was written in a very unique, at least from the books I have read. So many characters with their version of what happened, and leaving you the reader to piece thins together. Very innovative.. Glad I bought it.

The story captivates you from the first page itself and the narrative is lot different and a lot better than the movie. The quality of book is very good. Feels very light even though it's nearly 350 pages wide. The font can be a bit bigger but you get so engrossed in the story that it doesn't even matter. I would say totally go for it.

Not simply about zombies, this is a comment on our society’s lack of preparedness for a global disaster and our arrogance in assuming we can prevail with ease thanks to our technology.

It is about recognising our flaws in the form of reluctance, hesitation and denial as much as it is about recognising our capacity for survival in the harshest situation by way of grit and determination.

Our best survival tools are the aspects of ourselves we turn our noses up at as being archaic and uncomfortable.

Really, really different. Brilliantly so.

It takes a while to get into, but when you get there you'll spend the rest of the book breathless and stunned. It's a totally new kind of novel - no key characters, no plot as such, no narrative three-act structure. The entire book is a series of fictitious "eyewitness accounts" from people affected in some way by the zombie apocalypse. And somehow, as you read each account - in its author's voice and with their hopes and dreams - you enter the storyworld, as engrossing as any thriller.

It works because so many of the tales ring true. When I mentioned to a friend her cooking skills would in great demand after the zombie war, she exploded with protests about her professional background and job. Right at that point in the text, an organiser was talking about how difficult it was to convince a man who used to "get hold of the rights to classic rock songs for commercials" that his skills weren't just inappropriate, they were obsolete - the post-apocalypse world needs carpenters and builders and manual trades, not marketers...

The way the eyewitness interviews develop over time, spanning countries and viewpoints, come together as a single, coherent picture of just what happened, how we solved it, how difficult it was. This book is truly something different. And that's not common in today's lit. A fantastic read.

My daughter told me to read this and l was reluctant but thought I'd give it a go. So glad I did. I've lost count of how many times I've reread it since.

It's compelling reading - so many voices, backgrounds, nationalities all retelling their experiences during the 10 year war. Zombies are bit players in the drama and conflicts and bravery.

Some of the stories will stay with you long after you've finished reading.

Max Brooks is a skillful, intelligent writer with a strong grasp on how people tick.

Highly recommended.

Ok, an all out war against the undead, how do we document that? I know let's send someone around the world to talk with all the survivors of this near Zombie apocalypse.
This is basically how this book runs, it took me a little while to get into as it doesn't run like your usual story with a beginning, middle and an end. This is one person's short account of what they experienced during the war, then the next person's and so forth. Some of the situations are well thought out and do highlight some interesting revelations about what people fighting an army of Zombies may have to endure. Don't expect one big climax at the end because that's not the way World War Z works, it's full of little crescendos throughout, which does make it an interesting read and "yes, I did enjoy it", if your into the living coming back for revenge once they've breathed their last and you fancy something a bit different I don't think you will be disappointed.

Unique, Memorable, An Absolute Must Have

Delivery and Packaging: Delivery speed was exceptionally fast arriving well before estimated delivery date. Packaging was suitable and very good for the type of product.

The product itself; As someone who is not a particular fan of the zombie genre itself. I have to say I really enjoyed the narraitve style and writing of this book. The interview/documentary/report style really offers a unique perspective of many different peoples and cultures and thier experiences. It chronicles from patient zero to the aftermath of the breakout of the zombie war. This is a great book whether you are realitvely new to the zombie genre or a veteran reader of zombie novels I would say this book definitely has something to offer/appeal to all readers. Having also listened to the audiobook adaptation as well as having read the book I would say this is great across various media's depending on your preference. In the case of some narrative tales in this book I would say that Audiobook is actually a better way to enjoy this book as it captures the emotions and experiences of the characters a lot better than if one was simply reading the book.

Now for those of you who are curious as to how this book compares to the film adaptation. I would say if you enjoyed the film you wouldnt necessarily enjoy the book as the film is World War Z in title only. The zombies in the book are a lot more the traditional concept or public perception of zombies. I.e slow moving and the way it transmits the zombie pathogen is a lot more terrifying as it can go unnoticed easily until you hit the later stages so again it's interesting to read about that in the books. In the film adaptation, the report/documentary style is completely absent and the zombies are more that of 28 days later. I go into some detail about the differences merely to convey that the book is vastly different from the film and in terms of enjoyment of this particular title this information can make all the difference in your decision to buy this book.

Would I recommend this book? Definitely I think this book is a great addition to any book collection as the narrative style etc is excellent and I think this book has something to appeal to readers of all types be it your new to the horror genre or already a fan. Eitherway this book is a most certainly a must read.
