Book Review of World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
Helpful Score: 2


This is a very cleverly written and unique book. I am not big on "Zombies", so I didn't expect this book to be as good as it was. It is told in individual interviews conducted by an American who compiled a report for the UN Postwar Commission. The Commission wanted only facts and figures, so he sets out to cover the war from a personal perspective for future generations. The interviews are from all walks of life and countries of the world, ranging from your average citizens to doctors, soldiers, and even a survivor who was stranded in the International Space Station watching from above as the world changed. It tells the story from the first knowledge of the "infection" to the effects of the decade long war in the post war world. Compelling reading. Well done!
