World War Z by Max Brooks is a survivor account of the zombie war. Told in a very straight forward and serious manner the impartial author interviews and records the stories told by the survivors.
My over imaginative brain filled in a lot of the scenery for this film as will the mind of any other lover of the zombie movie. Moaning walking dead with their arms outstretched saying something close to "Brains......"
My mind made this story a comedy. But at the same time, it was a very serious and interesting story to think about and mentally chew on. What would we do if a virus erupted that turned people into the living dead? How would we handle a problem on this sort of scale?
I really enjoyed this book. I was fascinated by the politics, the humanness of it all, and by how close to an imagined reality this story gets. As you read survivor accounts you can believe whole heatedly that a real life reaction would be dead on similar. No pun intended.
