A social and psychological commentary set to the entertaining backdrop of a zombie apocalypse--genius, really. There is a reason people are calling this *the* zombie book to read; it is arranged as a series of short stories that artfully entwine to answer all the questions you ever asked yourself (and more) about what would happen if society spiraled into chaos.
I seriously squeed when i received this for my birthday from my husband--i've heard so many wonderful things, and it did not disappoint. So often books about possible futures (especially post-apocalyptic ones) are so...i don't know. Lame. But this is not; it is gritty and horribly, beautifully realistic. Each character has a story to tell (literally), and they are each unique and insightful.
It is more than a story about zombies, but a story about people, which will leave you walking away with a proper mix of disgust, humor, and pride at being human yourself.

Really enjoyed this one. I thought Brooks did a tremendous job with the way he put this one together.
