World War Z (post 2)

As I read farther into this book I appreciate how much time the author spent coming up with the ideas for the book. In the most recent passage I've read the narrator or the "author" is interviewing a fear monger who created a rabies vaccination that they 'thought' would work. Obviously it didn't because the infection wasn't rabies and this person being interviewed is doing everything he can to deny blame. He blames the person for coining the term African Rabies when the first outbreaks happened. Also he said that he never believed that the infection would spread to America, and that he was no worse than the people making money off of the avian flu because none of their magic cures would have worked, but the disease died before it could do any harm. I think that this is a very interesting subject and unexpected since most books written about a zombie apocalypse or a similar subject are just gory poorly written and uninspired books. Instead of the typical story of finding a zombie in your closet or being attacked by hoards of zombies and having a gory exciting climax that ends with one of the characters inevitably being turned into a zombie and just being a cliche fest. This book is actually well thought out and addresses how things such as the economy would react to this apocalypse. What I think is strange is that this book references the current economic crisis before anybody knew we were going to have one. I think that this is because the author was just vague enough about the state of the world at the time of the infection that the reader can fill in the blanks. Examples of this are the conflict and mutual distrust between Israel and Palestine that will not go away any time soon.
