World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
5.0
Absolutely terrifying, and funnily enough, humbling. The book is totally unique in the style in which its written - it's a compilation of tens or hundreds of fictional interviews, which cease to seem fictional as each interviewee has their own believable personality, story and mannerisms.
The first half of the book is effing terrifying, because you put yourself in the shoes of these people trying to get away from the undead, and the whole situation seems so utterly helpless. Where zombie movies often show a glimmer of hope with survivors easily fighting them off, the Zombie War seems like a lost cause at times and you just feel like you want to let them eat you and rip you to shreds.
One of my favourite books, fer sure.
