Zombies Zombies Zombies

World War Z by Max Brooks. I don't think anything I write will give the book any justice but I will try to briefly explain what I felt while reading. It is an oral history of the War against the Living Dead, Zacks, Ghouls or simply- ZOMBIES. The book consists of interviews with survivors of a world wide war that happened 12 years ago, war won by the humans. It is a historical record of the events, from the first encounter with patient zero to the announcement of the Victory day. It is written in a such good way that after page 5 you feel like you are actually learning real history, more real than every show in History Chanel.
 The main character, the interviewer collects first person stories from survivors. His mission is to write a post-war report for the United Nations.

 'We need clear facts and figures, unclouded by the human factor'. Of course, she was right. The official report was a collection of cold, hard data, an objective 'after-action report' that would allow future generations to study the events of that apocalyptic decade without being influenced by 'the human factor'.But isn't the human factor what connects us so deeply to our past? Will future generations care as much for chronologies and casualty statistics as they would for the personal accounts of individuals not so different from themselves?

  His initial report is made by facts and no personal stories; he decides that they are as important, even more, and puts them in a book. Each story is so personal that you, the reader, start to believe that the events actually happened.
  By the end of the book you start to wonder whether we could actually survive zombie war. I have always loved apocalyptic books. The best so far was The Road by Cormac McCarthy. What I love the most about apocalyptic scenarios in books is that they teach is to pull ourselves and start caring for each other, because that is the only way we could survive any type of apocalypse and extinction.
 

 PS Max Brooks wrote also Zombie Survivor Guide which I think one day might come in handy. You never know haha
