"World War Z: an oral history of the zombie war" by Max Brooks

Saw the movie with Brendan in Fredericton, and enjoyed it, so bought the book. There's very little similarity between the 2. I liked the book very much because it treated the problem realistically, and on a global scale. The one issue I had with it was that due to the format of survivor tales, it was difficult to remember individuals, so I missed a few unifying threads, I think.

"419" by Will Ferguson

Excellent book recommended to me by Eva. It broadened my horizons by giving me a vey good feel for the complexities of life in Nigeria. I have to ask Eva why she hated the ending, though it certainly is too bad that the boy with the beautiful smile had to die. It was amazing how people's actions affected the lives of others, even half way around the world. The book implies that we can be buffeted by forces so all encompassing that they are invisible to us. I finished this book in New Jersey, at Bridget's house.
