I just finished reading World War Z by Max Brooks and I have to say that it has been the most accurate account of the Zombie War since the UN's Postwar Commission Report. As one of the few survivors of those who fled North past the freeze-line after the Great Panic, I was out of the dark on many of the events that took place, especially on the other continents. I read everything I could get my hands on after things started to calm down. There were so many different books about the war afterwards but this was by far the best. The personal accounts of not only civilians but many of the movers and shakers that shaped the war were enlightening and heartbreaking. I admire that Mr. Brooks took the time to so thoroughly seek out these individuals and give voice to their stories, be they good or bad, and give us a fuller understanding of the greatest disaster in human history. We may never know why it started but we will fight these zombie motherf***ers till every last one of them is wiped off the face of the earth. I know many of you may not want to relive the nightmare of the Zombie War but to completely understand our experience, I believe the human elements in these stories will lift us up through it.

Sorry, I really wanted to write the review as one of the characters in the book. Here's my real-life opinion about the book. World War Z was amazing. It mashed a wonderfully imagined zombie apocalypse with realistic socio-political terms and consequences, told through the personal accounts of the survivors. Brilliant and engaging. I loved it.
