Publisher's Summary
"The end was near." Voices from the Zombie War.
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet.
He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.

A different kind of tale entirely..
Totally different from the movie, in probably a good way..? I didn't hate the movie as such.. but now I kind of want them to make a movie based on this book. *shakes fist at Hollywood *
Took me a chapter or two to get into the style of this book, then I was hooked. Great narrators, some big names in there too, although some of the smaller characters I wasn't sure they'd nailed the Chinese or.French accent say.
Overall a really delicious listen, I listened on the bus, at home, trying to get to sleep, at the gym, getting ready to go out, everywhere I could cram some time in to finish it. I liked the interview style of the book because if your brain tunes out for a while you don't miss anything too major in the plot.
Just to let you know, I work for Audible, but the views expressed in this review are 100% my own.

Really enjoyed this interesting take on WWZ
Really interesting take on the zombie war and all the angles it of it. From tactics to manufacturing to geopolitics. sounds boring but it isnt, very good read and the voice actors were awesome, highly recommend for something different!

why the cast change?
i this a book i come back at least twice a year but this time around its not world war z i knew and loved ....you had it right the first time....now? not so much ... the battle of yonkers was some of my all time favourite part of the book and you replaced mark hamill WHY?? im at a loss of words i love this book but i dont think ill be listening to it again .....
and anyone who is trashing this because they wanted the book from the "movie" and i use the term movie very loosely just go watch the movie and stop harping on about it the movie was a let down to anyone who loves the book

Loved the story a lot, narration above average
Although not as star studded as the other rendition of World War Z, this production is fantastic and I have listened to the book a few times.
The story surprisingly had much more depth to it than I thought and the movie really did it a disservice. There were quite a few chapters where it made me think about systems and practices we have rooted in society. Saying that, the story is primarily about zombies taking over the world, and the pacing was great and did not get bogged down with hidden meaning.
For the most part the narration was great. With a large cast some accents were... pretty bad. The Australian chapter particularly stands out to me as being rough. I read this book multiple times so it didn't impact my reading of it, however be aware that the narration for some chapters are a bit so/so. If I were allowed to give half stars I think 3.5 for performance would be pretty fair.
Overall a great read and I recommend it to fans of the genre.
