The Apocalypse is Coming, and It Wants Your Brain: World War Z

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: The zombies are coming, the zombies are coming... and you'd better be ready.
Review: The old saying would have it that "armies prepare to fight the war they just finished." That does seem borne out by recent history: WWII vs. Korea; Korea vs. Vietnam; Vietnam vs. the Gulf Wars... perhaps the military mind can only learn the hard...

I Don't Even LIKE Zombies, But I Loved "World War Z."

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: This book almost makes me like zombies. Almost.
Review: I've never like zombies. I haven't ever seen "Night of the Living Dead" or "28 Days Later" or anything where you need to blow something's brains out to kill its undead self. So when friends recommended Max Brooks' novel "World War Z: An Oral History...

World War Z - Awesome zombie stories

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: I can't wait to see the movie, so long as they don't screw it up.
Review: World War Z is a collection of war stories from a fictional zombie war that swept the planet sometime in the near future. It is from author Max Brooks, who is the son of famed writer/director Mel Brooks, and is the follow-up to his wildly successful...

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Date of Review:  Dec 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: Every element of the story wove together to create the perfect atmosphere of palpable doom entrancing the reader and ultimately stimulating the mind.
Review: An inexplicable and ultimately fatal plague has suddenly swept the globe, leaving horror and tragedy in its wake as a grim reminder of how fragile our presumed safety really is. This shocking plague is far from an ordinary virus; this mysterious...

A Milestone in the Zombie Genre

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2006
Review: A truly exceptional Zombie novel against which others will be judged. Phenomenally well written and researched, this fictional account of a worldwide plague of zombies is truly an astoundingly enjoyable read from start to finish. Done in an...

World War Z: Fantasy That Feels Like Reality

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: This book is a must read for anyone that appreciates detailed smart fiction and horror. Max Brook uses a fantasy war to comment on our society and world politics.
Review: I purchased this book only after getting the abridged audio book as a gift. I am not a fan of abridged anything and I also wanted to read the book for myself before hearing an audio version. I'll admit I didn't have any great expectations when it...

A Must-Read for Deadheads

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2009
Review: This was the first zombie novel I had read and I've been a fanatical Deadhead ever since. I still have yet to find another zombie novel to rival it. Max Brooks has brilliantly written this book as a collection of eye-witness interviews about the war...

Not sure this should be considered to be humor.

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not funny at all. Very thought provoking. Worth the price. a great read.
Review: This book is rather good. It is written as though it really is someone going around and gathering up oral accounts of something that actually happened. While the idea of zombies may be science fiction the idea of a world wide epidemic is quite real...

A Must-Read for Horror and Zombie Fans

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: A great book for anyone who loves zombies. Page-turner.
Review: Someone had told me this book would be hard to follow without first reading Brooks other book, The Zombie Survival Guide. Well, I had already finished WWZ before I even realized there was another book. I followed it just fine, so if you haven t read...
