Started reading this book on Friday night, I finished on Saturday morning at about 5am, yup, I couldn't put the thing down. Its a series of first hand accounts of a fictional Zombie War that affected the entire world written in an interview fashion.
From Max Brooks (The author of Zombie Survival Guide) the writting style at first I thought was going to annoy me because its not my usual type of single character hero type book. But it really works well, you even find yourself admiring the characters for what they went through and how they survived, even though you know its fictional.
Its a long-sih read but easly done in a day if you read like me (scary scanning speed) and even though its zombie based you find it believable because everything is based on the Human Spirit and will to survive, much like interviews with Holocaust survivours and WWI trench soldiers.

Top read anyway and I suggest having a flick through it if you get the chance.

I really must read this, I enjoyed the Zombie Survival Guide.

You said this one is believable because it's "based on the human spirit and will to survive", which is the common trait of most good zombie material. Just like The Walking Dead graphic novel series (ThreadJack), which is on it's sixth book and getting better all the time.

Humm I have this on audio book mp3 style if anybody wants it. Might have to treat myself to the book though, its never the same

I'd actually like a wee listen of that, heard some parts of it on the website, was quite good
