World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
by
Rarely have I enjoyed a speculative-fiction/horror novel as much as I have this one.
"Epic" hardly begins to describe it.
Basically an oral history of a worldwide war against the undead told by various characters who played pivotal roles in significant incidents.
If you're into this sort of thing you've probably already read this novel. If you're not intrigued about anything related to Zombies maybe you'd best skip this one.
For what it's worth the Goodreads page count is off. My page count of this novel is 420 pages.
Way too many pages than necessary.

"Started this today on the train on the way down to Manhattan to visit my wife’s family & celebrate Thanksgiving. Zombies, turkey & dressing and in-laws ... what a perfect match."

"Remarkable. Nothing at all like the stupid but visually exciting Brad Pitt movie. Particularly moving at times. Especially when world leaders and their commanders decide on using the South African “Redekker Plan”. Chilling."

"Man ...come onnnnnn!
Great entry in the Horror genre but I'm getting tired of turning pages.
End this already!
Goodreads lists this as being 342 pages. This edition is 420 pages.
I'm on page 380."

Thanks for the heads-up, Philip
Have read and enjoyed the book and now have a copy of the audio, which i am looking forward to listening to, at some point. Thanks for the recommendation Philip.
If you're at all into "the zombie thing," you should also read The Girl with All the Gifts - also best in audio. These two are really the twin high points of the entire zombie genre.
