World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
The story of Earth War Z is told through the eyes of survivors who recount their experiences during the zombie outbreak. The interviews are conducted by a United Nations employee who is tasked with compiling a report on the war. The interviews take place in various locations around the world, including the United States, China, Russia, and Israel. Each survivor has a unique perspective on the outbreak, and their stories provide a glimpse into the horrors of a society overrun by zombies.
One of the most striking aspects of the audiobook is the quality of the voice acting. The cast of actors brings the characters to life in a way

Why should you put World War Z on your reading list?
Believe me, I get it. The last thing you probably want to do in the middle of an honest-to-goodness pandemic is dive into a fictional world consumed by a relentless zombie-producing contagion. It is too close to home in the most overwhelming way possible. But bear with me for a few reasons why this particular story of apocalyptic plague may be just what you need to visit (or re-visit, as the case may be).
First, this is a journey told through the relative comfort of hindsight. It examines an even more extreme version of our current reality, but it does so in a comfortingly reflective manner. There are plenty of high-drama, “zombie horror” moments, but those are all tempered by the knowledge that these stories are being told from point of

WORLD WAR Z: THE COMPLETE EDITION An Oral History of the Zombie War
What happens after the end of the world as we know it? Humanity rebuilds, and Kirby Impoinvil (Max Brooks) is there to help survivors make sense of what happened the day the zombies came. Helping author Brooks is a host of family friends, including Alan Alda, Nathan Fillion, Paul Sorvino, Rob Reiner, Carl Reiner, Simon Pegg, John Turturro, and many others. This audio production was released to coincide with the movie of the same name. That it’s a real drama is not surprising given the stellar cast. They don't just read the book, they act it out. And don’t think this is a teen thriller. The zombies serve as a backdrop to the larger story of how humankind reacts to such an unexpected and catastrophic invasion and the inevitable conclusion that millions must be sacrificed to save the rest.
