Why are you posting this again?
Everyone agreed it was shit last time you made this thread.
Max Brooks is the second coming of Joyce. He transcends the sublime, and every word is filled with weight and allegory. You can read this book from the perspective of any literary or critical theory and it JUST WORKS. The breadth of plot and the lushness of the world developed are outdone only by the masterful weaving of prose around characterization. At times the author veers into descriptions and tangents related to the mythos of the universe and then just when he begins to lose you he grasps you firmly and pulls you RIGHT BACK IN. It is so uncommon when a work of genre fiction crosses over to a literary masterpiece that it is almost jarring, but Brooks' only peers in this, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Foster Wallace, stand as children before a mighty equestrian statue, one that will no doubt stand firm against the sands of time and literary criticism. Nothing less than a master's masterwork.

A well produced audiobook, zombie genre, entertaining alternate future political commentary. It was caught in a perfect storm. Having Mel Brooks as a dad doesn't hurt. Multiple accounts of history give enough time to enjoy a character before boredom sets in. There's almost as much geopolitical commentary as zombie killing. It's optimistic for an apocalypse story. I enjoyed it.

It's shit, but why do you think feral children are a stupid concept?
>>7712727
I know feral children have existed in real life, but they have never attempted survival in a place where millions upon millions of humanoids are trying to eat them.

That would make putting them in a shitty zombie apocalypse meme-book situation the terrible concept, not the idea of feral children itself.

That's my problem though. He uses feral children to help paint the setting. Same goes for quizlings. How would quizlings continue to pretend they were zombies?

This. Don't waste reading time on it but get the audiobook and listen to it while walking or playing your vidyas or whatever.
> read science fiction
> why is this science fiction this is so stupid
Takes after his father, but not in a good way.
