World War Z: an Oral History of the Zombie War

I've been complaining about bad zombie novels lately, but this one sucked me in because of its format. I'm a sucker for oral histories, even, evidently, if they are about the zombie apocalypse. The author has a way of making the zombie event pretty darn possible. The interviews take place all over the world and explain how governments messed up and what solutions to the zombie problem didn't work. My favorites were the everyday housewives who stood up, took over, killed zombies, and created new safe worlds for their families. And the military men and women who did whatever it took to survive, even when the government didn't care. So this isn't your typical novel, which is probably why I liked it!
