The book that has been reviewed a million times, I just had
to know what all the fuss was about. I’m
not a huge zombie person, unless there is mockery involved like in Shaun of the
Dead and Zombieland, but I enjoyed this book quite a lot. Probably because I could see us reacting to
zombies this way.
The book is complied of interviews with survivors of the
zombie war from all over the globe. It
describes the start of the outbreak in China and how it spread throughout the
world. It goes into detail about the
various cover-ups, profiteering, politics, doomed battles, survival strategies,
victorious battles, and the cleanup after the war was won.
As I said, I enjoyed this book, though I will probably never
read it again. I especially liked the
non-military/political interviews—those sections seemed to drag. Even the most despicable characters were
fascinating, such as the man who claimed to create a vaccine for the
outbreak. Maybe I don’t have a high
regard for human nature but I could see us doing everything in the book. I guess this book just highlights how
unprepared we are for anything like that.
