This genre hasn't stopped leaving me amazed yet. I'm floored that I'm so in love with a genre that I never, not for one second, ever thought I'd read. I'm loving every second of it.
Max Brooks seems to be one of the best. I heard his name and the titles of his books before I really got into zombie books so once I fell in love I knew I had to check them out. I loved World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War - loved it.
This I also loved, and this could have went all wrong in the wrong hands. I didn't list this to-read when I found it because I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew I liked/loved the "standard" zombie stories and this was obviously not that. Then again, WWZ isn't either.
I gave in and eventually knew I had to try it and I'm thankful I did. The second half of the book, very similiar to WWZ, is my favorite by far. The first half could have easily gotten tedious but it didn't - Brooks (thankfully) kept it at an appropriate page length IMO. Just when it was *about* to *start* getting a little bogged down we got to the 'Recorded Attacks'.
I can't imagine the work that goes into creating any book, much less one like this. This reads like an actual guide. I have no doubt that if (when?) the zombies come for me I'll know what to do. That's not to say I'll actually do it. I'm far too lazy for all the work that must go into battling zombies. But I will make sure Julia and any other close family make it to my friend Felicia's house. There will be no safer place on the whole of the East Coast, hell, maybe even all of North America.
Hey, maybe I'll even be a hero, once everyone is situated I'll go out with my trusty gun, lead the zombies away from my friends and family, and take the bullet with my name written on it. Then they can say, instead of "damn, she was a lazy bitch", "damn, that Eva, she really came through for us. She even gave her life so that we could have more time to get ready."
Hmmmm.....
