World War Z
Very cool, very easy read. It took the subject matter - A Worldwide zombie apocalypse - seriously, and I appreciated that. Because it was told as an oral history from many, many different sources, there were few characters that stood out. My favorite section was about a female drop pilot who got caught in a wild zone, overrun with zombies. She had to escape to safety with the company of an anonymous voice on the other end of a help line.
It may have been the copy on the back of the book, but it did remind me of The Hot Zone, which I loved.
Creating a different voice for each of the myriad characters presented a problem for the author, with a few exceptions. The military personnel, the mercenary, and the corrupt drug company exec all had distinct voices. Unfortunately they were all of the "Let's kick ass! Grrrrrr!" variety, which I despise.
Other than that, it was incredibly immersive. I read it in about a week, which in the case of a Dan Brown book, is an indication of how insulting it is. In this case, I never felt like I was reading something simplistic.
