Genre: Fiction / Survival / Post-apocalyptic
Basically a book with various stories from the perspectives
of many people in a war of zombies called World War Z.
Back Cover:
We survived the zombie apocalypse, but how many of us are
still haunted by that terrible time? We
have (temporarily?) defeated the living dead, but at what cost? Told in the haunting and riveting voices of
the men and women who witnessed the horror firsthand, World War Z is the only
record of the plague years.
What I thought:
I was actually kind of disappointed in this book. I have previously read The Zombie Survival
Guide by Max Brooks and found it amazing, so I thought this one would be
too. In fact, World War Z has been quite
a popular read. I guess that just goes
to show that popular isn’t always the best.
Okay, now you probably think that I really hate this
book. Absolutely not. I prefer stories driven by characters, where
this one is characters driving a story about war. War books were never really my forte. I do enjoy some, but the majority of them
just aren’t that amazing. I’m all for
the zombie phenomena, but this one left it hard to connect, and hard to relate
to. I couldn’t feel the characters fears,
or their emotions. The stories felt
stale to me. Some of the stories were
interesting, but the majority of them felt rather mediocre at best. This of course is just a matter of
opinion.
Could have been worse, could have been better.
Favorite quotes:
“Who cares who she was, or is? She was there when I needed her, and for the
rest of my life, she’ll always be with me.”
Shame on anyone who thinks evil of this.
