So, at the moment I'm in the middle of reading two books; World War Z and Swimming Upstream. Both of them are completely different to each other.
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.
World War Z is a book about the Zombie War. It's written like a collection of interviews. Interviews of this one man, a UN representative, interviewing all these people who were a part of the Zombie War and writing a report on it. I haven't gotten that far into it yet, I'm only up to the parts where it talks about how it all began. And these are the type of zombies that are zombies due to a disease, not the living undead. Personally, I recommend it to anyone who's into Science Fiction, Horror and stuff that's set in today's world but isn't exactly how the world is. And that's all I really have to say about it..
Oh, and after googling it to find a picture, I found out that they're making a film out of it. Set to be released late 2012. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/
Swimming Upstream.
Alright.. So, the other book I'm reading at the moment is an Australian book called Swimming Upstream. It's about the life of Australian swimmer Tony Fingleton. Swimming Upstream tells the life of Tony Fingleton, I'm about 100 or so pages in and I started a couple of days ago. It's not the type of book that I usually read but it has this captivating aspect about it that wants me to read more. So far it's good. The story's interesting and so are the characters. But honestly I can't see myself making this book one of those books that you just have to read. It's more of one of those books that you read when you have nothing else to do.
Funnily enough this book has been made into a film with Geoffrey Rush as one of the main characters. I'll watch the film when I finish and get back to you guys on it.

Oh, and I watched this movie the other day with my cousin. It's called Crazy Stupid Love. And it's really really good. You should all go watch it. And it has Emma Stone in it. 'Nough said.
I really want to read World War Z, but how Science fiction-y is it? I like my Sci-fi but I wonder if it's really OTT in this.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that Science fiction-y.. Well, from what I've read so far it isn't.
