    One critic used the word "literate" to describe this novel, and I think it is a fair compliment. Brooks's familiarity with our world and the lack of many common scare tactics (except for in the opening) made this book strangely plausible once you accepted its premise. My disbelief was suspended completely and since I'm a military man, that's something for a book about politics and military response to disaster.

    This book, set in our near future, is very unique and very memorable. Max Brooks' ruminations on the population's response (on both an individual level and a national level) to a presumed catastrophe of this magnitude are scarily realistic and believable. The story is told in the format of interviews with survivors of a world-wide zombie attack which gives the book the feel of a mocumentary and gives a whole new meaning to the term Generation Z.

    I'm not much of a horror reader, but this book makes me want to explore the genre more.

  • I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this one. It kept me up far too late and I pretty much never put it down once I started it. I am forcing everyone I know to read it.

  • The full cast of the audiobook made this a great "read". It really added that personal element to each account that I heard was somewhat lacking in the paper version.
