Status Updates From World War Z: An Oral Histor...

Book has moved onto how isnotreal helped ‘save’ the world, trash. Everything else is good tho so far

I love how everyone’s talking about their experience of the outbreak

Is this a Star Wars reference

I read this over 10 years ago and realized I dont actually remember the majority. It feels completely new. I love a oral history format

I just love post apocalyptic fiction

Ya me siento mas atrapa en la historia. Si bien la forma que se plantea el libro, como recopilando cosas que fueron pasando, no me parece del todo atractiva, los acontecimientos ya van llamando mi atención. Me gusta

estoy leyendo en audio libro, la pelicula me encanta y decidí darle una oportunidad al libro. No suelo hacerlo porque "en teoría" ya conozco la trama pero de momento pinta interesante. No llevo mucho pero tengo hartas expectativas

🧟 Doing it for the ‘Z’ ….

pg 62. overducated means having been educated to a higher academic level than is necessary
pg 65. phalanx a body of troops or police officers standing or moving in close formation.

191

pg 30. silhouetted cast or show. pg 37. ambassador meaning an accredited diplomat sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country.

Mets Fan best character!!

I wanted my 16 year old daughter to read this book, as she is a fellow horror lover. She was reluctant as she's not a huge reader. I suggested an audiobook and she said that a lot of audiobook narrators voices irritate her, she only likes when I read to her. So I'm rereading it aloud. We are both loving it so far

Okay that got a chuckle out of me.

cesko mentioned 🦅🦅

Another downside of the "oral history"/short story format here: even in what is possibly the longest narrative in the book, the plot point that you've telegraphed pretty obviously in the past six pages gets revealed, has consequences which are supposed to be emotionally gripping, and then all tension is immediately dissipated because the story ends in like two paragraphs...

Oh my goooood I got to the nerdy samurai chapter!

I'm in such a slump after finishing priory of the orange tree 😭

So here I am reading one of the (basically) short stories about a stranded female fighter pilot and the radio voice guiding her to safety and thinking this might actually be an engaging little chapter.

And then it ends on the biggest fracking cliche. Boo 😠👎🏼

Thank God and Audible for my free trial, its more good this way

pg 22 is shows how this book is senior level it has two hard words. One ex immunosuppressant: human kidney, heart-lung, bone marrow, pancreas and liver transplants. and dextroxardia: a condition in which the heart is pointed toward the right side of the chest

This is not a good book. For a book about a zombie apocalypse, it is in fact quite boring. There is no plot. No recurring characters. There aren't even all that many zombies if we're being honest.

I'd have given myself permission to DNF except that this book is good for exactly one thing: when I read it right before bed, I conk out almost instantly. One star awarded purely for its service to my sleep hygeine.

Still enjoying the writing style, getting a little lost in it however

Book is in interview format…no.

This is soo goood

I wish they had done this as a mini series than the World WarZ movie with Brad Pitt.

I didn't dislike the movie because it wasn't like the book... for me it was a boring movie with some decent parts.

Not sure how tough it would have been to make this into a series though, so 🤷

I'd like to to think I'd survive a Zombie apocalypse... I know of a couple people who definitely wouldn't *coughsisterinlawandbrothersdaughtercough*

Made some progress today :)

I love this book so much. And for completely different reasons than the movie

Post Covid, this is so damn surreal
