Anyone read it? The movie looks wack but I've heard nothing but good things about the book. Just curious about what the iMtG'ers think of it.

All-Mana Mania

I thought the movie looks good lol

I've heard the same thing, Mike. I may end up picking up the book sometime soon.

Book is great. Movie looks decent. It's not in my top 3 to go see.

I have somewhat of a zombie book/movie fetish. World war Z is pretty good book. The movie doesn't look like it follows the story line of the book tho it does look interesting.

Other good zombie books: rot and ruin series and the joe ledger series. Both written by John Mayberry and they are excellent!

Im torn between the audio book and the paperback. I've heard the audio version is great as well, and Henry Rollins, one of my heroes, does some reading in it.

I'm going in to see about applying at Barnes & Noble tomorrow, so I may just pick up the paperback lol.  It's along the same lines as Game of Thrones. I've heard it's absolutely spectacular, by I just haven't take the time to check it out :-\.

I've never really use audiobooks.  Are they worth it?

I've never gotten into audiobooks. I've always been a book snob that only reads books. How it should be! But, I heard that the audio version of this book is worth it. Ill probably buy the paperback, then pirate the audio. Win/win.

Lol thanks!  I may just happen to aqcuire the audiobook and buy the paperback as well.  I'm intrigued.  I've never really listened to one before.

Great book, takes a scary real look at how the world might react. The zombie survival guide, and recorded attacks are really good too, and written by mr brooks as well.

If anyone else wants a good zombie book look into Charlie Higsons, The Dead, The Enemy, The sacrafice, and i think theres one other hut idk lol. I have read the 3 listed and they are amazing
