interesting, bizarre, confronting but nonsense

The German performance is great, the problem is the story: a lot of thought went into this but there are logical inconsistencies which occasionally grate, and some reinterpretation about how slow zombies 'work', which is interesting but ... doesn't make sense and fine this is about zombies but ... the zombies need a brain, only die if their brain is destroyed but their muscles don't need fuel, have no liquid blood, but breathe, and don't digest food but it moves through their intestines ...

the book is about a lot of issues, and that's an interesting take on this subject but it's also frustrating because it takes attributes to the extreme. And that's done for a reason but also makes the situations unrealistic (and again ... zombies, but) which in turn makes it unpleasant to listen to.

it also completely differs from the movie which is bizarre having watched the movie previously, but that's more about the movie than this source material.

its not even in English

this isn't even in English no where does it say its not until you start listening to it

Someone who speaks German would enjoy it more. It shows up in the shop in English, downloads in German with a German cover.

What was most disappointing about Max Brooks’s story?

It is done in German.

How could the performance have been better?

Having the performance in English like the cover would help.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from World War Z?

The slamming the baby into the wall scene which is too much like the pivotal scene from Beloved.

Any additional comments?

Greate small stories!

If you want to read something new, a book based on a big number of smaller stories which somehow are connected then this book is great . It shows the story of the world against the zombies through smaller stories from different people.
