World War Z by Max Brooks:
Brad Pitt, an ex-government official, and his luscious locks try to save the world from fast-moving, disease-fearing zombies and relocate his family.
Oh, wait, that was the movie of the same title, which had surprisingly little in
common with the book. Particularly irritating was the amount that the book harped on the fact that the zombies move incredibly slow and are utterly mindless, while the movie seemed to go out of its way to contradict that.
The format of the book was rather unique, where a narrator conducts a series of interviews, painting a picture from the very beginning to the aftermath of the zombie war. Not the quickest read in the world, due to the unique format, but I would definitely say it was worthy of the time spent.
Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks:
This is a satyrical how-to guide for surviving a zombie apocalypse, covering everything from building an emergency shelter to weaponry to training.
The tongue-and-cheek writing style made it pretty entertaining, but I don't think it is a required read by any stretch.
