its pretty good, but i liked zombie survival guide better. world war z kinda bounces around like pulp fiction, which sounds cool but is really hard to follow in book form. especially for a drunk like me. but still, a good read.

It's a stand alone book, but a really fun read. You can probably read it in a weekend. It gets you thinking about the impending zombie apocalypse. I'm ready, are you?

no you dont need to. survival guide is a mock survival guide to survive the impending zombie infestation, while world war z is just a couple of peoples different stories from around the world about the war against the zombies.

The one and only audio book I ever purchased, thought it was awesome. They're making a movie, can't wait.

my mother has been acting strange. I wonder if I should just act a bit prematurely and off her?
what's the best way you think?

...survival guide is a mock survival guide...
I'm pretty sure it's for real.
And yes, you must be proactive with Zombies, even if it is your mother.

I also bought but have yet to read this book. I think I saw it recommended by a few folks in one of the "What are you reading" threads but what really sold me was a blip on Wikipedia that described one of the pivotal plot points as "The Battle of Yonkers" where the zombies win. Having lived in Yonkers for most of my life I thought - Yeah, that sounds about right.
Looking forward to cracking the spine on this one.

Cool book.
I wish it was being made into like a fake multi-part documentary as opposed to a movie. The movie is likely just going to be more of the same zombie bullshit we see all the time but on a bigger scale. The oral history style of the book is what made it really unique, and that's likely to be totally lost.

That's a good point. Would have been good as a HBO miniseries type thing.

an hbo series of zombies would be super cool. maybe a 2 season show and that's it. a big out break. survival then the final showdown whether it be win or lose.
