World War Z, Max Brooks’s second venture into the zombie apocalypse genre, drastically differs from its 2013 movie adaptation in its format and story structure, even though it contains most of the same plot points. Years after the end…

Fantastic book! I absolutely loved the book! And the movie was fairly strong, though not as compelling as reading the book. I thought that a strong cast performing interviews as the characters in the book, as they're written, would be…

Narrated by an all-star ensemble cast, this book is set as a retrospective oral history of how humanity overcame a zombie plague. The audio format is a great choice for the interview nature of an oral history, and the story being set after…

Well, I tried... The story required a few too many 'suspending disbelief' moments in it.

World War Z is a Zombie novel written by Max Brooks. It is regarded as one of the greatest zombie tales of all time and for good reason. The book is set from the view of interconnected interviews by several characters retelling their own…

IT was better than the movie in some ways. The interview style that book has is fun, and lets a story betold as remembered. It does however, get boring, and not really having the action described as it happens. Better than the movie, but…

Truly, the books are better than the movie. World War Z is a phenomenal narrative that contains several “interviews” following the aftermath of the Zombie War, which the author gathers the perspectives of survivors and their survival…

I think this book is great. Most science fiction horror stuff focuses more on the zombie, technology, or the alien in this. WWZ doesn't do that it focuses more on the international factor of this. It sees what happens to countries and…

Excellent audiobook and has an all star cast! Looks at the Zombie War with a lens towards how it would realistically affect the world--in terms of politics, society, religion, and economics.

This quick read offers fans of zombie related fiction the story of a world-wide zombie epidemic told in the form of interviews with various survivors. It is actually quite interesting because it isn't from the perspective of one…

Not good, y'all. Really, really not good. All the dialogue and characters seem as though they were written by a teenage boy, I constantly found myself laughing or rolling my eyes at things that were being said by the speakers and was…

For some reason, the creators of this audiobook thought it necessary to skip parts of the book; sometimes whole sections, sometimes just paragraphs, seemingly indiscriminately. What it actually included was great, and I really liked the…

Before listening to this audiobook, I couldn’t have cared less about zombies. They have never interested me nor held any appeal whatever. But this audiobook changed all of that. It was consistently interesting and very well researched. It…

An interesting book written from many different perspectives. This provides the reader with a wide spectrum of reaction and emotions on the zombie event and walks the reader through how different societies around the world deal with the…

Max Brooks writes and weaves a complex narrative and leaves the reader (listener in this specific instance) to pick up the pieces of the unsaid, and the undead. Listening to this well written book is an absolute treat due to its full cast…

I loved listening to this audiobook, the cast really make the story work well. Some of the great voices are instantly recognizable, Alan Alda in a war story what isn't to love?

While I enjoyed reading the book some years ago, I relished the audio version with its star-studded cast. Having a different voice for each character added a whole other delightful element to the story.

This audio was completely awesome. Everybody had a different narrator and some really well known actors lend their voices which was great but despite loving the documentary style of the book and the high quality audio... I still just want…

This fascinating novel reads more like a collection of loosely-related short stories. Most of the stories are interesting and quite a few are very cleverly written. On the surface, these are realistic, visceral stories about zombies. But…

I enjoy zombie stories as much as anyone, but I truly think this book is so much more than that. I feel Brooks uses the zombies as more of a means to talk about how humanity works; the unfortunate way we would allow politics to get in the…

I love zombie stuff...shows, books. But I don't get the hype with this one. It was so disjointed, not really tying any of the stories together. I know it was meant to be written that way, but I just did not enjoy it.

If I would have won the Power Ball I was going to build a time machine and travel back to the year of our Lord 1977 and go on a three to thirteen year tour with the Grateful Dead. For my second time through this, the definitive Zombie…
