World War Z - anyone else read it yet?

Max Brooks' new book is a must-buy. I pray for a film or TV adaptation. Best commerical Zombie fiction ever in my humble opinion. I searched the forums and didn't find any posts about this yet. Has this been discussed already? I'm halfway through the book. Absolutely amazing!

Don't spoil it for me though, i have the book, just not read it yet. Btw, Welcome.

please, no spoilers.... i've read the Z.S.G. but got a little bored by the end. what's the format of this book? is it a traditional "Story" or mock-reference or more of the same?

It's described as more of a serious novel. Takes a bunch of survivor's accounts and puts them together. I want to get it desperately, it sounds great.

I saw an ad for it a while back, and I'm hoping to include it in my next Amazon order.

I picked the book up last week at Barnes & Noble & am just waiting to finish a book I'm reading now & then I'll start it. Looking forward to it . I was PO'ed when I went to get the book though. When I took the book to the checkout they told me that I just missed a book signing with Max Brooks 2 days before .

Its Brad Pitt's company that optioned the book and apparently they're very serious about it.

Has this been discussed already? I'm halfway through the book. Absolutely amazing! I am also halfway through it at this time and I am enjoying it very much. I personally did not enjoy "The Zombie Survival Guide" because it is really a technical manual and that is not my thing. This one though is very thought provoking the way it ties the stories together.

I bought the audio book versions of both of these (I'm lazy and have a frustrating attention span when it comes to books and novels). I've been through both of them already and I'm very impressed. Max Brooks has an articulate and intelligent grip on how humanity might be shaped by a living dead saga, especially in World War Z. Zombie Survival Guide was entertaining, but increased tenfold in interest from me during the last section ("Recorded Attacks"). This was also a perfect segway into World War Z which was, in my opinion, finely casted and performed. I hope Brad Pitt's production company can do something with WWZ, it has the potential to be pretty epic ...

I finished reading World War Z, it was good I thought, but not as good as the Survival Guide. I would love to see a franchise of books written in George's Zombie Apocalyptic world. Its the best world for Zombie and would make a quality series of books.

This actually exists - there's quite a collection out there of fine written works set in Romero's World - stuff like Reign of the Dead - check Amazon and you should find plenty.

I finished it this weekend. Very good. Well worth a read. I like the way it covers how the world reacted to a walking dead outbreak. Hopefully this book inspire many others.
