Glad this was never properly adapted cause it would expose Brooks as the hack he is.
Dare someone to defend the movie or the book

the book was very north american biased. what it describes is ewhat most third worlds deal with
>>68865770
I really liked it, but the stereotype Brits and hikkikomori Japanese were stupid, so were the zombie quislings

The same exact 3 first replies every goddamn thread.
Fuck off already. The book was a good read and had some interesting ideas.
>>68865770
Well yeah, Max Brooks is terrible. His head-canon of zombies is that they're literally perpetual motion devices
>>68865770
how does the book compare to "Plague of the dead the mourning star strain" ?
that is my favorite zombie novel trilogy of all time
also saw the movie
expecting the worse
turned passable by todays standards
>>68866232
well ya, because max brooks say that in wwz about zombie survival handguide, nigga. he's admitted his books are based off stereotypes.
op is the biggest idiot, thinking tha tisreal would collapse to a zombie attack EASILY since they are in an active state of war.
a zombie outbreak during a war is something max brooks talks about, which no movie has really done.
>>68866521
What's that?
>>68865770
Sir, it's a zombie book. It's not supposed to be realistic. Do you expect a book about zombies to be realistic?
The book is best in audiobook form. It has a complete ensemble cast, with each chapter/character read by a different person. Just make sure to get the lost chapters as well, otherwise it is an abridged version.

fuck that noise
>>68867069
It doesn't cut chapters short, the abridged version just left some chapters out. Most are only vaguely related to each other anyhow.

Brad Pitt pls go
>>68867278
It was really bad though.
>>68867278
Can't I just like neither?
>>68865770
I thought it was a very solid read, the movie stood fairly well on it's own as an action flick, but compared to the book it's pretty lackluster.
I agree that the feral kids and brainwashed humans or whatever are really fucking stupid- i didn't like the idea and all and tried to just pretend the book didn't mention them.
I feel that the stronger parts of the book are the beginning up to around the end of the submarine and ocean shanty town. That was my favorite part.

its a really good zombie novel
written by an actual military vet
starts in the mild east and spreads
and a group of soldiers have to trek on foot , car, boat
to find a cure
all while battling a coup by a CIA agent for control for the united states government
and a crazy amount of zombies

Finally. Somebody else understands. Feral children are literally only there because they existed in World War 2, and Brooks wants as many war references as possible.

Clearly you haven't read the book. The whole point of WWZ is to depict a zombie pandemic realistically. And it does a fairly good job.
>>68867635
To be fair, it's not that realistic with the zombie biology- it's just Romero-style living dead, not some pathogen or whatever 28 Days Later used.
If i remember correctly, the book tended to avoid discussing the zombies themselves at all, just focusing on how it affected society as a whole.
>>68867698
>it's just Romero-style living dead
Except a pathogen is established in Zombie Survival Guide - solanum
>>68867698
I think you're right. It didn't get much into zombie biology. But I thought the reaction of governments and populations to the zombies seemed rooted in reality..
I liked this when I was a teen.
I haven't touched it in years.
If you shot a zombie in the gut, wouldn't it exsanguinate?
