Terrifying but hard to put down. I read this in less than a day, it was so addictive. The premise (zombies drive humanity to the brink of extinction) is absurd, but the narratives are actually not as ludicrous as you might think. The whole book is actually a collection of "first person" short stories told from viewpoints all over the world. By the end, you've got a pretty decent idea of the world the author envisions and the zombies are just one part of it. Stories in the book deal with other is

As a big fan of apocalyptic fiction, I can’t believe it took me so long to listen to this audiobook.

Great read if you like zombies. Written from the point of view from someone interviewing survivors of the zombie war (a world war in the truest sense) a couple years later about their recollections. Written by Max Brooks who is the son of Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft. And I read Brad Pitt has bought the rights for the movie.
Given the movie coming out (and the stories around it) thought it was time to reread this book.
It was as good as the first time. Nothing like a good zombie story where the [blank] wins/ :)

Started off slow but gradually got into this history of the epic war against the undead, both curious and scared to see what Hollywood and Brad Pitt do to the novel in a big screen adaptation.
I enjoyed this book. An interesting take on the zombie apocalypse, to read about the different sides of it was definitely cool.
