Book Review

Finished World War Z last night. WOW! What a FANTASTIC book. This book is basically a zombie book, but it is SO much more. The style of the book is not your usual start to finish narrative. The books begins(I'm not giving anything away here)with the author explaining that what follows are all the personal narratives he got while interviewing people across the world. The war against the zombies that ended 10 years ago affected people greatly so he goes around interviewing various people on their point of view. This is not really a horror book by any means. Many of the interviews are touching and really show many facets of the human spirit. The author's views on politics are clear as he writes of government ignoring the warning signs and abandoning the people. He writes of people trying to take advantage of the situation. He basically describes how everyone around the world discovered the zombies, how they reacted, and what they did to combat it. All of this is done soley in interview and personal narrative fashion. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone. You like horror books, there is something there for you. You like war books, there is something there for you. Like stories about people overcoming obstacles and the truimph of the human spirit, there is something there for you. Don't just discount this book as a simple zombie book as you will be missing a lot. If anyone decides to read it, let me know.
