This one is a must, brilliantly written, broad, so many different stories told, true masterpiece! I highly recommend the audiobook.
Excellent follow up. Was a little slower than the original but loved many of the additions.
Sometimes scenes are appropriately deleted. They often times add nothing new or interesting to the story. Not bad but unnecessary. Read this tome first. Don't if you've previously read the abridged version of World War Z.
Fantastic.Have listened to this 4 times and find it enthralling every time.
This audiobook was very well done.
Rating: 3 stars.So I don't understand the point of this small audiobook. It was actually written in the book but the audio version skipped it. Doesn't make much sense to me but oh well.
Not nearly as good as the first edition, but a decent effort.
I hope someone is producing a series following the stories in the book, fantastic.
if you read the book WORLD WAR Z, then this is enjoyable addition
Voices are casted woooooh~
thus continues my obsession with zombies.... amazing!
I read the book a few years ago, and liked it. Be aware that the Movie had almost nothing in common with the book. This audio is well done, with good voice actors, and I think it has more material. About 12 hours long. I liked it.
From what I understand, The Lost Files was released after the World War Z movie was released. To me, this screams cash grab but I wanted to give it a chance anyways because the World War Z audiobook is incredible and I was hoping this would be the same caliber. Unfortunately, it was not even close to being as good as the original audiobook, and again, I understand that these are mostly supplementary stories meant to be listened to with the original audiobook. Basically, these were cutting room f...
2020 reread: had to DNF this time a couple hours from the end due to *waves at everything,* but this collection includes some of the most viscerally memorable stories in the whole book - I’m always surprised they’re not in the main collection. [content warning for zombie apocalypse related violence & horror]
I thoroughly enjoyed Max Brooks' original World War Z. In fact, I listened to the audiobook, loved it so much I bought the novel and read it. Then I listed to the audiobook one more time! I had no idea there as a companion until my daughter, who knows what a World War Z fan I am, told me about it. As before, I listened to the audiobook.I thought it was a great addendum to the original. I liked what I perceived to be a more in-depth treatment by Brooks of the moral, political and personal implica...
I listened on audiobook and it was extremely boring. Just interview after interview. Nothing exciting. Maybe this would have been better read, then listened to.
Wow. Wow. Wow. This was a really great 'read'. I actually did the audio book of this (which is what's listed here), since the audio version was a special 'extra' - more like 13 hours long instead of the regular book written a few years earlier which would clock in around 5 hours. This is narrated by the author and has a fabulous cast documenting the onset of the Zombie 'War' - from breakout, to middle, to end. Highly recommend. Such a great 'telling'. Felt authentic and was fascinating too. Char...
~3.5; I actually listened to the complete version after listening to the original? (6hr) audiobook. This complete volume had twice the content (~12 hours) and filled in many of the gaps the first version left me with. If you’re going to dig in, I’d highly recommend the complete volume (though I don’t know how this shakes out in written form). Lot of parallels between zombie spread and covid.
A fantastic continuation of the World War Z stories of the first book. I highly recommend this series though in the present world it's a bit unnerving, given the pandemic we're presently experiencing.
I wasn’t sold on the new stories that were added. Some were great, but they didn’t add VALUE. Glad I gave it a read, but will stick to the abridged, to be honest.
