It has been ages since I’ve seen a book I can genuinely say is something new. Which is amusing because this book is also about a subject that has been beaten to death lately: zombie.” Not really a traditional story in terms of having a linear narrative, the book flits all around the globe to dozens of characters, each giving a snapshot of the world at different moments. Despite that, the story maintains a focus and cohesion that eludes many authors; each interview in the book puts another piece of the jigsaw in place for you and paints a vivid picture of the nightmare this world must have been.
The only small gripe I have with World War Z is that everything appears to be in the past tense so you don’t feel an immediate sense of urgency. Despite that, the story remains intensely interesting.
It is also a fascinating look at how different cultures deal with a crisis, even one as bizarre as the living dead.
Update: Found this huge collection of Zombie Games on the interwebs.
