About this listen

"The end was near." Voices from the Zombie War.

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet.

He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.

One of the best entertainment experiences I have had. Also interesting how so many of the sentences could be taken out and used to describe today’s pandemic.

Fabulous

Truly a zombie survivalist guide that tries to imagine various country ways of handling a global Z pandemic through the eyes of the survivors alike, but with like any works of fiction is prone to stereotyping each countries according to their ideology. which brings me to think the book might be pushing certain ideologies way too hard.

Surprisingly refreshing in some parts especially recounting the ground troop reactions to the undead and the psychological impact it has on the general populace, some interesting arguments such as world elites getting preferential treatment and some lives are more equal than others in a end of the world situation which sparks thoughts; There were tales of heroism, rousing speeches and hope for the future to rebuild post Z pandemic.

I struggled to get through this book. The delivery made a fascinating topic seem dull.

A struggle

Entertaining and intelligently wrtten considering it's about zombie war. Analogous to the 2 world wars and a indictment on the lack of lessons humanity took from those wars.

outstanding
