Observation (Raquel)

 I’m about half-way through reading World War Z right now. I might get around to a full review of the book when I finish it, but it case I don’t I’ll just say right now that I’m enjoying it. I’m enjoying it in a, “Yeah, people are idiots just like that. I completely accept the harsh way you’re portraying this.” kind of way, but it’s still good.

 Reading this book so far has made me realize something.  Flat out enemies I can physically fight don’t disturb me. The attack of undead people doesn’t bother me. It might be frightening, but it brings out my stubborn streak and my viscious streak. What really disturbs me is politics and messy desicions.

  The worst parts of this book aren’t about losing the fight against the zombies. They’re about suburbanites who don’t want to have to pay any attention to the problem. They’re about FDA approved drugs that are completly useless but profitable and well marketed. They’re about the infighting between refugees and soldiers oversupplied with useless tools and governments trying to decide who to save when they can’t save everyone. They’re the really believable parts.
