New thing today, finished World War Z by Max Brooks. I was surprised how compelling and interesting this was. I was hooked. Originally I started reading it mainly out of curiosity. I wanted to see how the book would go, since I enjoyed the movie World War Z. The two were completely different, and I enjoyed both.
I loved the way the stories in World War Z showed different sides of the zombie apocalypse and the unfolding of events from various perspectives. Some images and stories really stuck with you, and I just loved all the different backstories and events. This would make a fantastic TV series or mini-series, but would be far too hard to put everything into a movie. The stories were really great.
If you like short stories, this might really work for you, as they are a bunch of small short stories intertwined in a giant worldwide event. I really really enjoyed this, and I'm not big into the horror, zombie or apocalypse genre either. I was pleasantly surprised to find a fantastic book I had no idea I would like. READ THIS! :)
