Book Review: World War Z

Mar 25, 2009 14:49

I just finished World War Z in about 2017* hours; the book was deliciously addictive and not as brutal as I was expecting. I only had to put it down once, during a scene where I man listens to dozens of puppies dying of dehydration behind a barred window. It is otherwise scientific enough to not be gruesome and neutral enough to keep you emotionally detached.

All in all, it reads like a non-fiction piece and is absolutely engrossing, though it's definitely not appropriate for children and I probably wouldn't pick it up for a second read.

Overall (out of 5): ****

*-Thanks for the correction, Rafe!
