World War Z
It started with “Patient Zero,” a Chinese peasant whose bizarre affliction the government soon covered up. Quickly it spread across the globe, from South African slums to American suburbs. By the time the Army was devoured in the Battle of Yonkers, the truth could no longer be denied.
The dead are rising, and they are hungry!
Like a nightmarish hybrid of Stephen King and Ken Burns, writer Max Brooks—author of The Zombie Survival Guide—paints a frighteningly realistic portrait of humanity’s war against the walking dead in World War Z. This terrifying mockumentary-style “oral history” of a zombie apocalypse recounts the horror through the voices of dozens of compelling characters, from scientists to soldiers to everyday survivors.

My first Zombie book 
March 24, 2012
My son recommended I read this book. I'm so glad I did! I loved the retrospective style Brooks uses in telling the story of the Great Zombie War and how all your questions are not answered. It's a very intriguing book.

New Flesh for the Living Dead
April 10, 2009
So many new ideas were thought of in this one. How would a modern army fight the Dead? How do the dead deal with winter? How about the Dead and large bodies of Water? Well pick this one up and find out!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it!
February 27, 2009
When I first bought the book it was because I wanted to fill a special deal and was grasping at straws to find a last book. I made the correct choice. It was better than the books I deliberately chose. All corners of the globe are covered and all the different viewpoints are easy to accept as believable. Do yourself a favor- buy this book.

A great take on the genre
January 18, 2009
Brooks does a really interesting take on the zombie genre here. Instead of the countless tales of a group trapped against incredible odds, he details how the sudden outbreak of a zombie plague could truly affect the world. Everything is considered; politics, religion, the effectiveness of the modern military, psychological effects, and economic issues, just to name a few things. It's exciting to know that a movie is in the works, but I still recommend the book - how many times have you heard someone say "the movie was way better than the book!" - I'm betting never, so check this one out!
