Publisher's Summary

Visceral, disturbing and chilling in its realism, World War Z is perhaps the most famous work from the world's foremost expert on our undead counterparts. Paired with the equally gripping The Zombie Survival Guide, there is no better preparation for the inevitable uprising.

"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.

Any apocalyptic scenario can fit here

I've read this book twice and now I heard it on audible.
Love how real the different stories of people's experiences feel when this end of the world scenario takes place.
What is amazing is that you can swap a zombie apocalypse with a pandemic, a nuclear holocaust or any other apocalyptic scenario, and this story would hold and still feel real.
Amazingly, I heard this as Covid spread around the world and so many facts in the book like where it came from, Israels experience, India's chaos and more were exactly the same!
I'm sure I'll be back to listen to this again.

Excellent satire

You know the onion? With all those satirical news. It’s like that. I liked it, but it’s almost like a documentary. So, I had stop and listen over many days. Also, some people complain about the Indian accents. Obviously they have used American Indians, but I don’t mind it. Voice acting, including Indian voices, is great.

Weird Indian accents

Look the story is great and all but the Indian accents in this book is borderline offensive. What is up with this? I wish this could be changed.
This one thing spoils the whole narration for me.

Good Story But The Accents Are Terrible

the story is good and sometimes terrifying but the Accents are just typical stereotypes of all the people

This audiobook is freaking amazing.

The narrators are really good.
The story is gripping, in a way you really don't expect a documentary styled book to be.
People tell me the movie is rubbish compared to the book. I don't intend to see it, this audiobook is movie enough for me.
Honestly, I wasn't too sure of subscribing to audible, but this book alone has made it totally worthwhile.
