World War Z

Alright, let's see a show of hands, how many of you have read the book The Zombie Survival Guide? One, two, three... Ok, so quite a few of you. For the rest, it's a really great book about how to survive a zombie attack. It full of helpful hints such as the best kind of armor to wear(a shark suit), how to prepare defenses, and how to hunt zombies(in groups preferably). But one of the best parts of the book in my opinion are all the first hand accounts of zombie attacks. They're just very compelling. If you're a fan of books like The Walking Dead, you would probably enjoy it as well.

This week the sequel comes out, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. If you read the first book you probably read the small preview that they put in at the back. It was about a doctor treating some of the patients in the initial outbreak in China, near the Three Rivers Dam. Apparently up until now zombie attacks have been infrequent, but on the rise. Luckily almost all of them have been contained and stamped out. The new book is about what happens when one of them is not, and zombies start to spread. The concept is that after a global war against the zombies, the author has travelled the globe talking to the survivors, and put together almost a warning manual about the consequences of not paying attention to the zombie menace, and not treating it seriously. I really like what I have read of it so far, and I highly recomend that you come down and pick one up when they come in on the 20th of September.
