Synopsis

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (abbreviated WWZ) is a 2006 post-apocalyptic horror novel by Max Brooks. It is a follow-up to his 2003 book The Zombie Survival Guide. Rather than a grand overview or single narrative, World War Z is a collection of individual accounts in the form of interviews with characters conducted by the author. Brooks plays the role of an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published the novel a decade after the Zombie War.

This book is an amazing read, it pulled me in to the point that I literally couldn't put it down until my eyes rolled back in my head and I passed out from exhaustion. Pick up a copy and get yourself pulled into the pages as I did. You can thank me later!!!
On Nov 9 2014, a reader said:
Zombie novels have become a very popular sub-genre over the years, but few if any measure up to this one. In it, Max Brooks adopts an unusual literary device to tell the story of a zombie apocalypse and its aftermath. Though a series of wide-ranging “oral history interviews” modeled after the real-life work of Studs Terkel, Brooks recounts the rise of a pandemic that turns millions into the walking undead and the efforts by the survivors to reclaim the planet. Throughout it Brooks provides a commentary on contemporary politics and society that is starting to feel a little dated yet by no means detracts from the horror of the events he describes. By weaving a zombie apocalypse novel out of the tales of its survivors, he creates a work that is both wide-ranging an intimate at the same time, one that is a must-read for anyone who is a fan of the type.
