Phenomenal Addition to the WWZ Franchise

The voice cast was expertly chosen and greatly added to the overall immersion. Max Brooks’ writing holds up better and better as the years go by. Given how the world has gone recently, I 100% believe this story isn’t too far off to how the world would handle the Solanum Virus IRL. Overall, this is another great work by Max Brooks that will stand the test of time.

Dreaming about Zombies

Henry Rollins and Common are a few of the performers, fyi. I'm biased bc I loved the book WW Z and needed to hear more.

a great audio book for first time listener.

I was curious and cautious about audio books, I was concerned about buying an audio book and it turning out to be a bad read.
well not this book! I thoroughly enjoyed the many actors who voice acted, many to my surprise that they worked in audiobooks!
I've never experienced any other audio book nor the world war z books. I enjoy how they brought the reading to an almost real experience! it's what got me to read in the first place!!
again a great intro into audio books!! give it a listen!!

Great stories that round out the original

I enjoyed the very first book and remembered the shutin's story but could not find it. this edition has it and so much more. Give it a listen !

As good as I hoped

Really enjoyed the actors and their stories. It was what I expected and that is a GOOD thing.
