World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
This book is certainly engrossing, but there are several flaws in it's internal logic that will give even the most rabid zombie fans a pause. For instance: Zombies walking across the bottom of the ocean. I don't care how magically resilient zombies are to the ravages of saltwater, or mindlessly determined, they wouldn't be able to stand that sort of atmospheric pressure.
And there were a few other things like that.
Overall it's a good time, but it whereas the Zombie Survival Guide could be read both as amusing fiction and inspired lunatic nonfiction, World War Z is only presented as a theoretical and fictional terror.
