    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book. It bookends very well with World War Z because of how different it is. A man is surviving the Holocaust, and saving people as he goes. Sounds very stock, but the author has military experience, and that lends credibility to the story and the implements that he uses as he ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57375484">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I ended up reading this whole book over two days, out loud to my husband as we drove home from my in-laws house (about 1000 miles). We couldn't have picked a better book- it was engrossing, a great page turner, and wonderful at distracting us from the traffic and broken AC. <br/>A few of the zombie...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53951993">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[what a page turner.<br/>like Brooks' World War Z, this is a more intimate account of what happened in a zombie outbreak and a collapse of the world.<br/>very tense, very fast, <br/>while some characters seem to lack development it isn't quite so, in what was written you see them develop in their ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75025325">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an intense and very addictive book.  Like Max Brooks' &quot;World War Z&quot;, it depicts a worldwide outbreak of the walking dead.  Unlike WWZ, it is only from the perspective of one man's journal entries as he survives the ordeal, &quot;day by day&quot; as it were.  You might think that co...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51181310">more...</a>]]></body>
