I just started reading "World War Z".

I have to admit, when I checked it out from the library, I expected it was going to be a cheesy, zombie apocalypse kind of thing.

So far, it is actually fairly scholarly, well-researched, and well-written.

I'm looking forward to the rest of it...

He also wrote " A Zombie Survival Guide" which is also fantastic. Mel Brooks is his Dad, WWZ is coming out as a movie and even the Audio book rocks with a cast including Alan Alda
