SPOILERS!!!!!!!!
I need to see a film version of the harbor sequence: dozens of ships, loaded with the living and the undead. Desperate people, swimming towards their only hope, with clammy, rotting hands reaching from below to pull them under. Damn there's some creepy imagery in this book.

Personal taste really... I'd go with "The Road" myself, but both books are quite good... they're as different as you can get and still deal in "apocolyptic" themes!

Fievel wrote: The audiobook has an AMAZING cast!!
It includes: John Turturro, Jurgen Prochnow, Henry Rollins, Mark Hamill, Alan Alda and Carl and Rob Reiner
I'm looking forward to finishing the audiobook and eventually reading the print copy since the audio version is abridged (Booo!).

I'm 2/3 of the way done with the audiobook and am in COMPLETE GEEK HEAVEN!!! This is the type of zombie story I want to hear/read/see. It talks about what happens to EVERYONE when a zombie attack/plague/war happens. It is set up as individual stories of survivors around the world that were "collected" by the author after the Zombie War engulfed the planet. It details the politcal struggles, the global consequences, the military perspective, the everyday man, celebrities, the Zatoichi-esque blind guy, etc. etc.

It includes: John Turturro, Jurgen Prochnow, Henry Rollins, Mark Hamill, Alan Alda and Carl and Rob Reiner
It is written by Max Brooks, author of The Zombie Survival Guide, and son of some guy named Mel.

Oh, and then there's the whole Brad Pitt -vs- Leo DiCaprio bidding war for the rights to film this book. Brad won, and now needs to make this into the best f-ing zombie movie.... EVER.

Wow, this sounds awesome. I may just be voting alongside DJJ on this one for September. If not, getting the book anyways to read.

me too, actually. This has been recommended to me like 5 times over the last year or so, but I still haven't read it. It's my next book, so
maybe i'll participate in the book club for once!

I'm only a few chapters in, and I'm a little underwhelmed so far... that being said i bet this could translate into a decent movie.
It reminds me of a book I read WAAAAY back in 1980 (I was 10). the name escapes me right now, but it was a ficticious acount of the years after a global nuclear war from the perspective of a reporter, and it was written in this interview style.
I'm sure it had to have an influence on WWZ.
