World War Z is a fictional documentation of the Zombie War. A reporter shares survives accounts of their encounter with Zombie outbreak that overtook the world. The outbreak was believe to have started in China or in the Middle East. The first survive first encountered the virus in a small chines town called Dachang. He was a doctor and five people came in all with same injury of being bitten by a little boy. The doctor went to see the child, which was locked in a little shed. He opened the door and was immediately attacked by the child. He eventually got two of the stronger villagers to help him hold the boy down. After, studying the infection and symptoms the doctor couldn't determine what was wrong with him. He later called the police and soon the Chinese secrete forces showed up, Z8-A, quarantine everyone in the hospital. Another, survivor was a smuggler who brought people to other countries bypassing the border patrols. After the outbreak of the virus his business became even more successful as he transported infected to other nations were he encouraged them that they might find a (nonexistent) cure. This is how the virus was able to spread into other countries and eventually plague the US.

I find this book to be very entreating and love the topic of Zombies. So far the story is a little slow, but all stories about Zombies start off slow because they have to show how the virus originated and how it was spread throughout the world. I believe if the Smugglers wouldn't have transport the infected people to other countries, the Chinese could have solved the problem. But without the continuous spread their would be no story, and I defiantly want to read more of the Zombie War.
