When I first began to read this book, I was very confused on the perspective of the author. Once I realized the unnamed interviewer is the main perspective of the book, it made a ton more sense! The book is about this man who is commissioned to write a report on the Zombie Wars. He travels the world hearing different people's personal experiences of this war, its beginning and take off. When he turns in his findings, his boss finds its too emotional so he takes out the "human factor" of the book. You start to learn how what they believed was "African rabies" crossed the world through various modes of transmission including refugees, black market organs, and human trafficking. Every person's story is so intriguing. Some have truly horrific experiences while others are just mad at the world for the whole epidemic.
I don't know if I could pick one favorite part of the book so far. I think the really graphic parts are more interesting because I can visualize what is happening like I am in their shoes. Right off the beginning I could feel the uneasiness of the doctor who found the zombie child. I would be so freaked if I saw something so lifeless still moving. You could really hear the arm snap off even though I was just reading. I appreciate the writer's creativity. The character from Bethlehem, Palestine had a connecting feel, as well. When his father lashed out at him for trying to leave the family I could feel the rage between the two. I would be so scared to be put in a brand new situation where you're constantly checked and praying you make it through the dog interrogation. When the interviewer talked to the guy from Antarctica I was almost mad at the man. He was so inconsiderate of the human race's well being! How could he not blame himself for selling a fake vaccine that he knew would make no difference? It was shocking to think that people in real life could do that. What if the flu vaccine just a sense of security? food for thought
