World War Z
This book is Awesome. It is written by the writer of the Zombie Survival Guide and it is an oral history ten years after the victory over the zombies. The writing is truly engrossing and the writer's ability to capture the voices of all of these different characters is amazing. If you are a horror and sci-fi person you will definitely dig this. The references to culture before the fall and also all the leadership that ignored the intelligence reports and allowed the plague to advance are spot on. Imagine if you will that you are crossing overland to avoid the zombies. You have to cross a slow moving stream. You start across to water that is slightly over your head. You feel the hand latch around the ankle and the teeth sink into your calf as you are pulled under. You try to scream and water rushes into your mouth. You drown because the zombie never needs air and never tires. Then in a few minutes you reanimate.
