Review: World War Z

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is more of a mockumentary than a novel, but that’s what made it interesting to me.
It covers a wide range of characters, and while most of them are US-born and/or US-Based, I still appreciate the attempt at looking at other continents and what happened there during WWZ (though I see you, mistakes about French geography and French words in the mouth of a French born & bred character).

The whole thing seems really realistic and believable to me, and the stories–while they’re all partial–do paint a vivid picture of WWZ, as well as providing the potential for dozens of feature-length stories and novel.
There are several characters whose story I would gladly watch if it were to be adapted into a movie, and I’d be lying if I said this didn’t make me want to read the Zombie Survival guide :)
