World War Z

Anyone read this book? Its a book about The Great Zombie War where over 90% or so of the worlds population turned into Zombies. Its basically from the point of view of a reporter who goes around the world interviewing tons of people and having them tell their stories from when the war broke out. There are stories from a Chinese Missile Submarine Captain, a soldier in the U.S. Army who was in the Battle of Yonkers, etc.

Great stories written by Max Brooks (author of The Zombie Survival Guide and pretty much the go to guy for zombie stuff). Apparently Brad Pitt's production company Plan B is going to be making a movie adaptation out of it with Michael Straczynski taking up director position. Im pretty excited for when this comes out.

A movie? If done well that could be freaking epic.

WWZ was a brilliant book, I couldn't stop reading it. I can't recommend it enough to any zombie fans... Which, really should be everyone here

I haven't read WWZ yet, but I loved the Zombie Survival Guide, so I probably will :P
