book : World War Z

Dear tom,

title: World War Z
author: Max Brooks
page count:

basic summery: Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! People call it a fad but I am so glad that zombies are so popular. They are the only supernatural creature that make for excellent horrors and comedies. I don't know if you've ever read a book written as an oral history but it's one of my favorite formats. It makes for quick reads and a "straight to the point" page turner. Every line is action. You get all kinds of perspective here; people from different countries, different ages, and different power (government or otherwise). You learn about the start of the outbreak to the many ways people found to survive. It keeps you interested because it covers so many scenarios. It's like the SAW of zombie survival.

other comments: Brooks also wrote the Zombie Survival Guide. (But I didn't read it)

love,

kristen
