Book review of World War Z by Max Brooks

[@Vic-ne3cg]

I recommend the “Slow Burn” series by Bobby Adair it is really different zombie apocalypse. The zombies are more like infected people than reanimated dead. There are differences between the infected so some retain humanity whilst others don’t.

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendation

[@zombiegaby]

I'm always looking for zombie books, so don't mind me as I steal this recommendation 👀

[@JasmineTea127]

Never been a zombie fan but I’ll give this a shot! Thank you!

[@jockel4256]

Your poor arm...😅😅

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Lol

[@Shizzelfication]

It was very considerate and informative splitting the reviews - I'm definitely interested reading World War Z after hearing your spoiler free review

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!

Hey Mike, just found your channel. Really interesting and highly enjoyable to listen to your review of one of my favorite books of all time in a clear, concise format. I appreciate that you mentioned the author's nuanced commentary and critique of governments and society which really makes it distinct from other fringe horror books. I would recommend listening to the audiobook narration on audible, it has an all-star cast and made me enjoy the book even more. Great book review!

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Awesome, thank you! I might give the audiobook a try in the future! :)

[@johnmooney9403]

Hi Mike just discovered your great channel. Your book reviews are so different to other book tubers. Quiet unique in style and always fascinating.

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

10:30 You're wrong on so many things here. It was not a little girl and her family living in a church. It was a mother and daughter waiting in church for the husband/father to return. He never did. It wasn't only them. There were also many members of the congregation there as well. Yes, the mother was trying to mercy kill her daughter by strangulation because the Zombies had gotten into the church, but was shot dead by another member who saved the girl Sharon by picking her up and carrying her into the parking lot. "RUN SHARON! DONT STOP! JUST RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN!" The Zombies pulled the woman away from Sharon and ate her.

This is pure ASMR ⭐✨ Please make more book reviews 🙏🏾

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Thank you!

[@zombiegaby]

Ooh I love zombie books and I LOVED wwz! I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you want to get back into zombie books, I'd highly recommend The Girl With All The Gifts! Not the same vibe at all, but very good nevertheless

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendation

[@PoorPersonsBookReviewer]

Great video very well organized, i just made my own booktube review (i loved it), yours video is way better lol

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Thank you! I'll have to check it out! :)

[@ssjjshawn]

Also speaking of the Zombie Survival Guide Its mentioned in the Book that that Book is actually an inuniverse book written by Max Brooks, and its implied that the UN Agent is that Max Brooks as well, when someone shits all over the Guide inuniverse for being to American Centric

[@jakphannak817]

If you didn't read yet, i recommend "i am Legend". It's one of my favorite horror books and from your description it has some similarities to World War Z.

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Awesome, thank you for the recommendation!

[@atravelingboy7995]

Yes the guy who wrote most of the best twilight zone episodes wrote that excellent recommendation!

[@SaduranYT]

I still want to know wich was the last mesage from Buenos Aires that was mentioned various times during the novel

[@kayladunaway7101]

I think the great horror that comes with slow moving zombies is that they've beaten humans at their own game. Persistance hunting is what helped drive our species to the top while we where still on the plains. We just followed our prey until it gave out from exaustion. And now, something else, wearing our own faces, is doing the exact same to us.

[@sooraj2668]

Please make a review on shadow and bone tirology

[@Darth_Goober9000]

What's that trilogy about? Title sounds cool

[@danpaglinawan3256]

After watching a few seasons of The Walking Dead and reading World War Z, I conclude that the governments of World War Z handled the problem pretty well compared to twd. It's kind of crazy tbh.

[@kayladunaway7101]

Absolutely nothing to back this up, but I always considered that the virus in TWD was a bio weapon that went out of control. Large population (or populationS) infected at once, with a people that canonically has no cutural knowledge about zombies (besides the frindge that knows the concept of the og Voodo zombies). And the fact that EVERYONE is infected, not just those directly bitten by a z. Hospitals musta been CRAZY, even beyond what we saw in the show.

[@miguelon2595]

I loved this book. And even though your point is true, I found myself attached to a few POV characters anyways. Great video!

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Thank you!

[@danpaglinawan3256]

SAME!!!! For me, Canada, India, and US are the ones that really made me emotional. Not to say that the other POVs didn't make me emotional, its just my opinion.

[@TheLegendOfRune]

I recommend the Zombie fallout series by Mark Tufo and As the World Dies by Rhiannon Frater. Those are my favorites and I've read them far too many times. lol

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Thank you for the recommendations!

[@sharonoddlyenough]

If you enjoy this book, a non-fiction suggestion is Studs Terkel's books. 'Hard Times' is various personal accounts of folks who lived through the great depression, 'The Good War' is the same about experiences during WW2.

[@Raymondgogolf]

Hi Sharon I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman man with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Thank you for the recommendations!

[@ofwolvesandmagic]

The one point that was incorrect was the church portion. Sharon's mother was strangling her, and then she was shot by the mother of Sharon's friend who died. She then ran her out of the church and told her to run.

[@Fatihdars]

Fr his arm be like : you litol.... Put the book right nowwww also great book review I'm coming to steal them.

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

lol thank you!

[@paulinetayloe9988]

World war z omg I was there when they were filming it, they did a scen on such hall street Glasgow i when to meet Brad Pitt and missed him.

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Wow that must have been so cool to see!

[@snakesonthismondaytofriday1750]

Have you read Dune or the Dune Series by any chance?

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Yes I have and I would highly recommend it! I'm looking at making a video in 2023 of What it is like to read Dune so stay tuned for that. :)

[@matildastanford7019]

Highly recommend reading Surviving the evacuation by Frank Tayell. lt is a series of books that begins a bit monotonously but develops interesting characters and events beyond just the zombie and nuclear war apocalypse. While not in the same league as wwz it explores many facets of life, both the monsterously evil to redemption and love. l enjoyed it but, of course, it is entirely subjective.

[@kayladunaway7101]

10:29 Spoiler section Actually, its the mother of the girl's deceased friend that shoots the girl's mother to save the girl. The girl describes being choked, hearing a big bang, and her face being suddenly filled with something warm and wet (blood). The friend's mother then picks the girl up and throws her over the encroaching hoard, begging her to just keep running. A notable example of Chekov's gun, as it was described that the preacher's wife was carrying a shotgun(?) when they first entered the church. As for book recomendations, I personally liked "Day By Day Armagendon" (journal style from the pov of a soilder that's recently returned home, then armagedon begings) and "The Girl With All the Gifts" (told from the perspective of a young girl in a facility in Britian(?), fungus based zombies)

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Thank you for the clarification and for the book recommendation!

You should check out arisen by Micheal Stephen fuecks

I am working on some scripts currently and hope to have some up in early 2023!

[@darius_Pk]

I watched the first 9 seasons of the walking dead and the first 3 seasons of fear twd. Then the shows became boring and stupid writen but I never road a zombies book. Maybe I ll try it

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

I watched the first 3 seasons of twd, and really enjoyed it, but never watched any of the other seasons. And now I am so far behind I am not sure if I care to catch up...

[@darius_Pk]

@@miketravelsnowhere6557 I know. I watched 3 seasons then started again after 2 years.. After season 6 I paused it again one year and just then watched the other seasons.. And after an year I watched 3 seasons of fear the walking dead witch is tied up to the og... Now it passed 1 year again and I want to finish twd =)))). Lol long jurney 🤣🤣🤣

[@PhoenixAngel429]

The book isn't bad. I'd give it a read. I liked it.

[@adamrivers3250]

World War Z was the first book I read before the movie. I was duly disappointed in the latter.

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Yup that's what I have heard. Too bad too because the book is great

[@mertala1085]

I'm reading Merlin right now, it's pretty good actually

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Sweet! I just got that book and plan on reading it later this year

[@alonemafia4554]

Hii Mike, I want to become a writer and a great scholar but in present Iam in last year of my high school, I want to see you reviewing my book Love from India

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

I would love that too! Remember to always follow your dreams! Good luck!

Please read more Sanderson. 😄

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Just finished Mistborn...and I have some thoughts...I'll probably make a video or 2 on that 😉

[@s.r.polaris5569]

@@miketravelsnowhere6557 I'd love to see that. I recently bought The name of the wind cuz in my local library in English (I live in a Spanish speaking country) they didn't have the first Mistborn, so I bought the name of the wind instead, but I'm dying to read the Mistborn series

[@JOhiyoM]

WWZ is one of those books that gave me the creeps. Fear, dread; the creeps. An excellent book. The movie version was bad. There were some parts of the movie that were trying to be good, but overall, it sucked. Train to Busan is a much better movie than WWZ, even though reading captions is distracting. I haven't seen an English overdub for it yet.

[@dailycarolina.]

I loved this book. Did not like the movie :(

[@PhoenixAngel429]

Liked the book. Don't watch the movie. Way disappointing.

[@majorcoconuts7609]

Anything other than praise for this book is slander

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Agreed!

[@Shrek-ru5of]

The movie is not very good at all.

[@miketravelsnowhere6557]

Yup, that's what I have heard. Just a generic zombie movie. Too bad because the book is great!

[@DailyDoseOfKnowlage88]

Bro is reading off Wikipedia 💀💀💀

[@RandomLBS]

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE when they make a movie that shits all over the source material just because they wanted a specific name as the title. Max Brooks book was amazing. I've listened to the audiobook 3 times. All they had to do was make something unique and different as per how the was the book was written. Instead, they just simply made another generic Zombie not unlike a 1000 other generic Zombie movies.
