Praise“An ‘oral history’ of the global war the evil brain-chewers came within a hair of winning. Zombies are among us—turn on your television if you don’t believe it. But, Brooks reassures us, even today, human fighters are hunting down the leftovers, and we’re winning. His iron-jaw narrative is studded with practical advice on what to do when the zombies come, as they surely will. A literate, ironic, strangely tasty treat.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Max Brooks has charted the folly of a disaster response based solely on advanced technologies and brute force in this step-by-step guide to what happened in the Zombie War. He details with extraordinary insight how in the face of institutional missteps and greed, people in unexpected ways achieve unique, creative, and effective strategies to survive and fight back. Brooks’s account of the path to recovery and reconstruction after the war is fascinating, too.
World War Z provides us with a starting point, at least, a basic blueprint from which to build a popular understanding of how, when, and why such a disaster came to be, and how small groups and individuals survived.” —Jeb Weisman, Ph.D.,Director of Strategic Technologies, National Center for Disaster Preparedness“Possesses more creativity and zip than entire crates of other new fiction titles.

A.” —Entertainment Weekly, EW Pick“Probably the most topical and literate scare since Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds radio broadcast. This is action-packed social-political satire with a global view.” —Dallas Morning News“Brooks is America’s most prominent maven on the living dead. It is gripping reading and a scathing indictment of weak responses to crises real and over-hyped.” —Hartford Courant“A sober, frequently horrifying and even moving account. Brooks has delivered a full-blown horror novel, laced with sharp social and political observations and loads of macabre, gruesome imagery. The real horror of World War Z comes from the all-too-plausible responses of human beings and governments to the menace.” —Fangoria“A horror fan’s version of Studs Terkel’s The Good War. Like George Romero’s Dead trilogy, World War Z is another milestone in the zombie mythology.” —Booklist“Brooks commits to detail in a way that makes his nightmare world creepily plausible. Far more affecting than anything involving zombies really has any right to be.
Opens in blood and guts, turns the world into an oversized version of hell, then ends with and affirmation of humanity’s ability to survive the worst the world has to offer. It feels like the right book for the right times, and that’s the eeriest detail of all.” —The A.V.
Club“The best science fiction has traditionally been steeped in social commentary. World War Z continues that legacy. We haven’t been this excited about a book without pictures since–well, since ever.” —Metro“Each story locks together perfectly to create a wonderful, giddy suspense.
Brooks also has the political savvy to take advantage of any paranoia a modern reader might feel. The perfect book for all us zombie junkies.” —Paste“This infectious and compelling book will have nervous readers watching the streets for zombies. Recommended.” —Library Journal.

I listened to the original audiobook of WWZ when it first came out and when the Complete version came out, I took out the book and read along with the Complete version.The original audiobook version of WWZ had only a subset of the storylines. I think they only chose the storylines with the most essential events and cut out those that didn't move the story along.
For instance, they cut out the storyline about the space station, the nuclear submarine, the whales/ocean, etc.For the storylines they kept in, they had to remove some of the parts of those stories that had ties any cut storylines. The easiest example of this is the part about the blind hibakusha Japanese guy fighting zombies by himself in the Japanese forest. That story was part of the original version, but they cut out the part near the end where he came across the hikkikomori otaku guy and trained him to be a part of his Shield society.When the Complete version came out, they added all of the storylines they had removed in the original version, and got narrators to fill those storylines (some of the BEST narrators, like Simon Pegg and Alfred Molina).What the Complete version DIDN'T do was re-record the pieces with the original narrators. So while the Complete version added the hikkikomori otaku guy's story back in, they didn't add the part where he meets up with the blind hibakusha. That part was told from the hibakusha's perspective, and they didn't re-record his story since it was part of the original. Because that part was kind of near the end but not quite, it probably would have required an entire re-recording to get the performance just right. There are other instances of where this happens across the entire novel, so I imagine they just decided to keep the performances from the original and augment those the best they could with the storylines that they cut out.Unless they re-record the original narrators, the Complete Edition is the closest version you can get to an unabridged version of WWZ.
It's still an amazing production.I hope this helps!EDIT TO ADD: I'm thinking of listening to the Complete version again while reading along with the book. Unless any one else has done this already, I'll try to catalog the parts where the audiobook changes from the book. It's a little nitpicky because from what I recall it only happens in spurts, but I'll try my best and report back to the subreddit!. The money to reproduce the original narrators wouldn't make sense but also I think you would lose something in redoing those performances. What people don't remember is that the abridged version of WWZ won the 2007 Audie Award for Multi-Voiced Performance and was a nominee for Audiobook of the Year.
The idea of asking those actors to redo their parts for an award-winning audiobook would be considered a bit of an insult, at least in my opinion. As an analogy, consider the 'updated' versions of the original Star Wars trilogy - I personally feel that those updated versions take away from the original versions. In WWZ's case I think that redoing those performances could possibly take away from the original.That's why I think the Complete Edition is great and the fact that it remains officially 'abridged' is unfortunate but doesn't upset me as much as other abridged audiobooks.:).
