What did everyone think of World War Z. I thought it was a good book. Most likely because it was the first book I've ever read in a interview perspective.

I enjoyed it, but didn't like the format. The premise is great, and I do believe it's the first zombie novel to actually portray a zombie outbreak from a global perspective, but the anthologizing made it harder to get into.

I like day by day armaggeddon by JL bourne more.

If you were to pick nearly any one of the stories at random and flesh it out into a movie, it might be one of the better zombie movies of all time. However, that's also the problem: All he writes is
the beginning - the hook - and then moves on when it just starts to get interesting.

Like the Japanese kid who is trapped in the building but finds a katana- WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HIM!??!?!

Annoyed the shit out of me.

I very much agree. There were characters id love to read more chapters on. And some that bore me to death.

Not sure how movie format will work.
