World War Z is a Zombie novel written by Max Brooks. It is regarded as one of the greatest zombie tales of all time and for good reason. The book is set from the view of interconnected interviews by several characters retelling their own stories of surviving the zombie apocalypse ravaging the world. The storytelling is unique due to the fact that there is no central protagonist. The story unfolds through the eyes of the witnesses. This method of storytelling works exceptionally well for a story like this one. The characters are also unique and each have their own personalities and goals. One character is an everyday guy who turns into a full fledged survivor. All the way to a high ranking military man. The novel is very gritty and realistic and isn't afraid to show a mature and engaging storyline to the reader. I greatly enjoyed this book as the chapters aren't very long and the pace never falls. I would give this a full five stars. @Moebooks of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board
