Max Brooks Boxed Set: World War Z, The Zombie Survival Guide

world war z= I expected more along the lines of doug adams hitchhiker series.Max brooks really knocks it out of the ball park with this one.To take such a serious route of a already established genre and to play it straight up he makes the walking dead seem all to campy.It is a great read curled up with my chihuahua's with my Chinese sword by my side. You really feel a sense of wonder what and how its going to end.The zombie survival guide=A seriously intense field guide, He plays so earnestly you get a almost textbook feel for it.If you changed the theme to a post disaster guide to deal with starving refugees banded together and raiding supplies. It would still work as a strategy guide for survival.

Saw the movie first which I heard was completely different from the book. That being said, enjoyed the movie, going in with low expectations. The book was awesome, and I can understand while people disliked the movie for being so different from the book, but still enjoyed both mediums greatly.

If you still believe that the CIA and the Israelis are the good guys, this book is for you. If you think that constitutional patriots are "right wing militias" and "domestic terrorists," go ahead and feed your delusions.

If you know the truth, skip this nonsense.

I got this set for my husband for Christmas. He really liked the World War Z book, he said it was very different from the movie but much better. He read it in about 2 days. He is now reading the Survival Guide and getting a kick out of it.

My brother loves anything to do with the World War Z phenomena!
This was a great deal and I got it super fast!

Hollywood butchered the story with the Brad Pitt vehicle of the same name. This book, is far too well written, and far too grand in scope to have been written by one author. I have my suspicions about the production of this book, but never mind that. Even if you aren't interested in Zombie stories, this is an extremely well written, compelling contemporary novel, written in an unorthodox style. It is written as recent history to the great Zombie infestation and subsequent war for survival.

For fun, buy the boxed set.

I bought this for my brother and he is enjoying the books. He has been quoting the zombie encyclopedia. Good read before seeing the movie.

I purchased this for my son who couldn't wait to open the package when it arrived. He was very happy with both books and he recommends it to people who like zombie movies, shows, and books.

loved the story

I read these books when I was younger and having a boxed set on my bookshelf takes me back. The return policy is also very generous. My dog tore the box up, but I was able to get a new copy free of charge.
