World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Hi everyone , this is my first blog post which is going be one of the many updates I am going bring on about books that I have read .I love reading books regardless the genre . I am still the old school type of person where people are and has migrated to eBooks and I still love the feeling of a physical book in my hand. Here we go to my first book review:

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is a 2006 apocalyptic horror novel by Max Brooks. It is a follow-up to his 2003 satirical survival manual, The Zombie Survival Guide, but is much more serious in its tone. 

The novel is a collection of individual accounts, where the narrator is an agent of the United Nations Post-war Commission ten years after the fictional Zombie War. Other passages record a decade-long desperate war against the zombie plague, as experienced by people of various nationalities. 

The personal accounts also describe the social, political, religious and environmental changes that resulted from the war. World War Z was inspired by The Good War, an oral history of World War II by Studs Terkel, and by the zombie films of George A. Romero. Brooks used World War Z to comment on government ineptitude and American isolationism, while also examining survivalism and uncertainty. The book spawned a movie titled World War Z directed by Marc Forster. 

The screenplay by Matthew Michael Carnahan is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Max Brooks. The film stars Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane, a former United Nations investigator who must travel the world to find a way to stop a zombie-like pandemic. The book is a much better read than watching movie. I must admit that I watched the movie first then I read the book. 

The movie is good but the book was much is detail about the subject matter. I tend to agree with the author of the book: Max Brooks said his novel about a world nearly destroyed by a zombie pandemic, shares the same title as the movie "and that's it."He talked about his book and the movie during an interview at Mansfield University. I knew they were going to rewrite it. I grew up in Hollywood. I knew it was going to go through a million changes. “I would definitely recommend you to read the book and I am not going to stop you from watching the movie either. With that note I leave you with the trailer of the movie
