    After checking out the website, I am pretty sure this will be my next book purchase for my undead library (rubs palms greedily)...

    The website has 10 chapters of excerpts from the book (as podcasts) which works out to be just under 2 hours (1:47).

    It's 342 pages, but by the end, you'll be wishing he had written more. As was alluded to earlier by someone else, it's not so much what he writes, but how he writes it.

    I got the audio book on Cereval's reccomendation and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Neil, if you want to get the audio book fast then you should do a quick *ahem* search, if you know what I mean.

    Give me a PM if you can't find it.

    Great Book

    I just finished reading it yesterday and. . . WOW.

    My favorite story was the girl who gets stuck in the swamp and has the mysterious radio person talk her through it, but every story in the book was great.

    At first I was afraid the book would be like another 'interview' book I read called War Day. I hated War Day. It moved along too slowly. World War Z clips along at a fast pace and stays interesting throughout the entire thing. One of the best books I've read this year.

    I got World War Z in October and have just finished it for the second time. Some of the chapters could be easily spun out to be movies in their own right. Very, very interesting stuff that is conerned with the response to the chaos in both personal and (inter)national levels.

    As its written in short interviews the book can be easily picked up for a ten minute 'zombie' fix.
