You may love it, or you may hate it; for me, it's an uneven collection of stories as some of them deserve their own standalone novel and some others truly deserve to never be mentioned again. ( ) Holy crap, it really is short. Anthology includes 4 stories, all in the same world as WWZ, set during and after the war. Chapter 1 - Set after the war, a company makes bank Chapter 2 - Short story about a man trapped Chapter 3 - Man, this was the odd one out. It was one of the most fleshed out stories, but was completely out of left field. I enjoy little twists on my expectations (see Clean Sweep), but this was a massive shift for the established universe, and not one I am sure can be pulled off in a single short story. In short: Chapter 4 - Short story centered in China and the rebuilding of the Great Wall. If you liked WWZ you'll probably enjoy it - it feels like (and its alluded to as) cut content from that book. Its hard to say "More of the same" without it sounding like an insult. This book overall is definitely weaker than the first two entries in the series, but I think its still a bit ahead of The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks. My biggest issue is the length - it really is short. 2-3 more short stories would have made a huge difference. Four breezy short stories from the pen of World War Z author Max Brooks. Two of them – 'Closure, Limited' and 'Great Wall' – are, I suspect, material cut from the final version of World War Z. One of the others is the inconsequential 'Steve and Fred', and one – the longest – is an adequate vampires-in-a-zombie-apocalypse story called 'The Extinction Parade'. The slim book is filled out with a lot of white space and blank pages; it screams of opportunism after the success of Brooks' novels and you should only really read it if, like I did, you can get it on the cheap and you have a lazy hour to fill. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
BROOKS MANTIENE intacto su talento desbordante y su capacidad de sorprendernos y lo demuestra con estas cuatro visiones del universo zombi: «El desfile de la extinción», la guerra entre zombis y humanos vista por unos vampiros que ven con alarma cómo se están quedando sin alimento; «Gran Muralla», donde una China despótica trata de hacer frente a la invasión zombi reclutando forzosamente a gente para reconstruir la Gran Muralla; «Steve and Fred» un relato de doble filo que desafía las fronteras entre realidad y ficción, y «Cierre, S.L» una entrevista a un terapeuta danés que, tras la plaga, «recupera» psicológicamente a quienes no se atrevieron a matar a familiares infectados.
