First and shortest--- The Survival Guide-- not really a guide of use, but as it was written on a subject that cannot actually happen, it worked well, and was an ok read. Sort of a "niche" book, but it was decent.

Secondly-- World War Z--- I enjoyed it, although it took me 2 short evenings to read it. The premise for the book would make a good story, but the book getting directly turned to a screenplay would be two choppy-- in my opinion. What remains to be seen is if Brad Pitt's company can do someting good with this or not.

What I would like Max to do now is write an actual zombie novel tying in elements of SG and WWZ. I don't know if he is working on that or not, but it would be nice to see if he could progress into that medium.
