If you had to picked between Brooks, World War Z or The Zombie Survival Guide ... pick World War Z every single time
The book is made up of a collection of interviews basically short stories of what individuals went through and saw during the zombie war. The interviewees are basically telling the same story but at times things can get a bit confusing since there is no overlap in characters or settings, which creates a bit of chaos for the reader.
There really isn't a way to connect emotionally to the characters because you don't get to know them, just their story.
At first the books starts off great. It is exciting and fun. The world is being overrun, stories are very interesting but then it's as though Brooks lacked imagination to continue. With the exception of a few stories, they all became rather flat and lack suspense or drama.
Brooks creates a semi-intriguing book that has a lot of promise. It just lacks execution.
Grade: D
