Three hundred plus pages and not a single original idea. Slow, drifting writing with out much imagination. Truly a waste of time I’m very sorry to say, especially since it came highly recommeded from someone who usually leads me to great books.

Now let’s not getting carried away here, comparing this throw-away trash to a compelling horror novel like Carrion Comfort or The Shining. “Zombies take over the world, feed gluttonously on human flesh, walk among us, etc.” isn’t the most imagination idea these days, and the author doesn’t take it much further but resorts to the usual lazy imagery, totally derivative from Romero, EC Comics, bless their heart, and King. I’m reading it purely as escape while my wife’s away on business and my 4 year old is driving me half crazy, and it still makes my eyes glaze over after three leaden paragraphs.

When I read Brooks’ Complete Zombie Survival Guide, I literally could not put it down until I had read the whole thing. So naturally I was excited to see World War Z on the new release book shelf when it came out and purchased it immediately.
I’ll be candid and short, this book f****** sucks zombie genitalia. Don’t waste your time or money on this complete bore of a book. Aside from the obvious political slant that I take offense to in the writing, the entire thing is just plain boring. What a complete and utter waste of a good concept.

I really hated this book. Not only is it dry and unentertaining, but many of the facts are incorrect or misused. It’s completely unbelievable and drags on forever. While the novel could have been written in 200 pages, the author tends to go on and on, using the same topics, rambling and saying the same things over and over again. And not to mention there is no central character. There is, however, a first person narrator, who claims that he or she will try his or her best not to insert his or her own personal opinions, making it as if he or she will, in fact, take a side in the Zombie War, and also shed light with emotions, etc. But the author fails at basically everything he tries to accomplish in the book. It is utterly boring and horrible to read. I would not tell anyone to read this, ever. It’s horrible.
