World War Z

Brooks uses accounts from a variety of sources. No two are related to each other. Until readers get to a point in the middle of the book. This is his first use of a linked account. He gives no warning that he is doing this until the connection is distinctly made. Readers have to pay attention to the first account to understand the fist one. The first account was about the guy obsessed with computers. He escapes his nineteen story building and runs into the wild. As he runs off into the wild, the second account starts. Normally, this also means to a different topic. This topic is of an old man and how he went into the mountains, survived, and killed all undead at the will of the gods. Interestin thing, he is blind. Somehow he senses are acute enough for him to track most things in a fifthteen paces to half a kilometer. He meets the computer geek by jumping on him from a tree. Strange way to greet a human, but he wanted to make sure the guy had good intentions. I still find it amazing that the old man exists. Does "Daredevil" ring a bell to any of my readers? It is a movie about a boy who loses his eyesight and can see with hearing. He becomes a superhero and saves peoples' lives. That old man seems so unlike Daredevil. Brooks is basically throwing a superhero into his book.
