World War Z


Max Brooks took a nice approach to the Zombie novel, he set the bar high after writing The Zombie Survival Guide, and it is good to know his creativity wouldn’t be peaked by his prior work.
            The believability of World War Z is manifested through the means of the dialogue. It is well articulated with characters, places and events, providing an eerie sense of realism. It makes you not much as wonder but understand what the world would be like post zombie apocalypse. The book begins to feel less like a work of fiction but more as age-old notes to be used as reference for history students.
            It is not surprising that Brooks book was turned into a movie. It is practically written as a screenplay. If all goes well it should put an end to the spewing of shitty zombie movies coming out of Hollywood.
