June Book Club Read: World War Z

Trailers for the movie based on World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks have been out for a while, so in preparation for the movie's release, LeVar's Rainbow Book Club will be reading this for the month of June!

"The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand 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."

We'll see how the movie stands up or if, as it seems, it's completely walked away from its source material.
