World War Z

I'm not much of a big book reader, but this is one amazing book! I got a new job that has a lot of downtime, so I've been reading this. The author is Max Brooks (I hear he's the son of Mel Brooks). He also wrote "The Zombie Survivial Guide". This one has a much more serious tone though. Basically its a "what if" situation where a war vs the undead breaks out. It takes place 10 years afterwards. It is made to come off like a documentary. A collection of fictional stories for things like: what caused the breakout, why did people ignore warnings, how did people deal with it, how the fighting went down, etc... According to IMDB, there's a movie coming out for it in 2008. Brad Pitt's production company (Plan B) had to fight for the rights of it against Leonardo DiCaprio's prodcution company (Appian Way). IMO a mini series would be better. Something along the lines of the way Band of Brothers was. Either way, I HIGHLY recommend this book. Even if you aren't a big reader, give this book a chance!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
