It's not yet another tired clone of the plot in Resident Evil or I Am Legend or 28 Days Later....etc etc etc?

NickelobLight Wrote:World War Z was like nothing ever written. It is, as Gerald Rice said, the narratives of dozens of survivors of the war for mankind's survival against the zombies. The narratives are from everyone from astronauts in the International Space Station, a Chinese submarine crewman, and a character who is little more than a thinly veiled Howard Dean. It is quite possibly the greatest thing the zombie genre has EVER had to offer, be it film, literature, or even video games. There's been rumors floating around about a movie being made about it, but I hope they don't do it. They'll only ruin it.Just picked up World War Z because I recall a friend raving about it and now I'm glad I did. Looking forward to seeing if it's as good as I've heard it is!
If you get the chance, you must DEFINITELY read it. The worldwide socio-economic commentary alone makes it absolutely genius.
