Knowing this was about zombies, I had no intention of reading it. My husband determined that I should, as it's everything I like about history, without all the unpleasantness of zombies. And he was right. We listened to it on our recent anniversary road trip and I really enjoyed it. (I have no desire to see the movie though, as I gather that's going to have all the things I dislike about zombies.) There were parts that bothered me (I mean, seriously, why are you wondering why zombies can be frozen and still be animated when they defrost? Surely the more important question is why the dead are reanimated at all? What does their brain have to do with it? How are corpses 'infected'? How are the things moving about anyway? I can think of an enormous pile of questions far more pertinent than the question of freezing and thawing! Also, why 'African rabies'?), but overall I really enjoyed it. I did find it a little US-centric, but that's hardly surprising. There was a very well-done bit about South Africa, and the guy that did the voice acting for that was fantastic. I definitely recommend this.
