Wasn't A Zombie Fan, But...

Sorry if this sounds a little scattered. I'm pretty tired.

I write this as a guy who was never really into the Zombie genre. I've never even been into the horror genre. I am a history geek through and through. After hearing some friends talk about Brooks' "Zombie Survival Guide", I decided to pick it up. I actually found it very entertaining, so I decided to take a look at "World War Z".

I must say that I finished it lastnight, but I really wasn't ready for it to end. I already miss reading it.

To me this book seemed like so many historic books that I've read that were written in the interview format. I loved how diverse the characters were. I loved how people in different part of the world (even different parts of a same continent) had different nicknames for the zombies. I loved the variations of the characters' parts of a shared experience. I really enjoyed looking at the psychological impact of a worldwide pandemic.

I think Max Brooks is a very clever guy. He wrote about different types of people from different cultures, occupations, lifestyles as if he was an expert on all of them (or at least he came off convincingly enough to make it believable).

I will recommend this book to friends and strangers, even if they're not a fan a the Zombie genre like I am now.

I do wonder how they will adapt this into a movie (I guess Brad Pitt will be producing it).

Excellent! Bound to be a classic!

This book is incredible. Each account that Max Brooks creates paints its own picture and adds to the horror that mankind would face if we ever were thrown into the middle of an undead apocalypse!! If you have ever been a fan of Zombie movies or horror in general, you owe it to yourself to read this book!
