World War Z--Max Brooks

I picked this up at a Flea Market.  Yes, some people go to flea markets for antiques and crafts, I go to dig through the dollar book bins. . . I have a problem.   I will freely admit that this is probably the worst possible time to be reading this book.  With Ebola and the enterovirus all the rage on the news, the last thing my overactive imagination needs at night is a zombie apocalypse book, but I'm reading it nonetheless, because it is good.

If you've seen the movie, do not let that stop you from picking up the book.  This books reads more like a collection of short stories, than a novel.  There are threads throughout the book that I recognize from the movie, but most are not.   This is the whole picture of the end of the world, the hope, the greed, the carnage, and the bad decisions that make for a good zombie read.  If you find it in your used book store, or you need another little something to put your amazon order total on the free shipping side, pick it up.  You won't sleep for a while, but it is in the best possible way!
