Oh no, how dare... HOW DARE Brad Pitt ruin such a *snicker* "classic" book - Max Brooks' salient and cutting satire of modern society that still rings true today - how dare he.

Truly, zombie genre fiction has peaked with this tome

You think that's bad, try reading the zombie survival guide as a /k/ autist.

Chinks nuked themselves too
French finally redeemed themselves for being cheese eating surrender monkeys in WW2
and Britbongs had an epic battle in the classic English fog that made a great video for "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths.

I am aware of no better book within the genre.

this was, when I first read it at my 13 years old, quite engaging
thinking back on it it's very superfcial, weak, uninspired and clearly stereotypcal

Yeah imagine that, a book about a zombie apocalypse that is not an absolute stylistic masterpiece of beautiful prose and well-developed characters

I thought it was pretty good. Almost every story held my interest.
I liked several of the chapters you mentioned. The K9 one, the blind Jap, etc.
A few others that spring to mind are the infantry soldier at that huge battle in NY, the Chinese submarine captain, the dude in Antarctica who was selling fake vaccines, the Vice President, the woman who built treehouse towns...oh and the guy with the film crew! That was cool.
I haven't seen the movie, so I can't comment on that, but I'm sure it has very little in common. The book wasn't in a film-friendly format.
