Was it Rabies? Or was it something else? What could have caused such a terrible, fearful outbreak? A plague that first began in China, was suddenly spreading throughout the world. These things breaking into peoples homes, attacking one another, without any sense they're doing it, or who they're doing it to. In this book, Max Brooks interviewed a few important people on what exactly happened in these times, who did it truly effect, and what was the government doing to stop it?
One part that stuck out to me specifically was the placebos that were created for the sole purpose of providing hope for everyone. Phalanx. Proud of himself for the millions of dollars he was making, Mister Scotts story stuck out to me the most. He had very little care in the matter, all he cared about was the money. This was very weird to me considering what was going on at the time...how was he so okay with it? Once I get further into this book, I hope to find some answer to this question. Maybe the situation wasn't as big of a deal then it seems. Although that's hard to believe considering in the last section of the chapter I learn that a man named Tim and his wife and kids were so rudely interrupted on a nice day by these walkers; breaking into their home, pulling children's hair, and flat out attacking them, forcing them to leave and forget everything behind.
