Seconded. Also, Colson Whitehead is supposed to have a "fresh" look at zombie fiction. He's a "literary" writer, so I'm curious whether anyone has read it or not. I'll probably pick it up. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct...ehead-20111030 Quote:

WWZ has a great view into how different people and different cultures could potentially react to a global epidemic. It also had great characters and some really cool "what if" scenarios. The Walking Dead has good characters (although they drive me crazy sometimes), but it's mainly a survival story that looks into how you would react and behave if most of modern civilization had gone out the window. And the gore can be fun, too. ![]() |

It's about 10 times the book that the Zombie Survival Guide is. Seriously. It's awesome.

I am a pretty tough critic when it comes to books BTW. The only book that gets an "A" that I have ever read is newest full version of "The Stand".

My problem with Zombie Survival Guide is that it's a gimmick book, to me. It's the book I point my struggling reader students to, because it's broken into small sections, has illustrations, and allows them to browse read instead of following a narrative. WWZ is an actual novel, and a badass one at that.

SURELY WWZ isn't on par with The Stand?
I haven't read a good book in a while (SK's last book The Dome was ass). Guess I'll have to check it out.

The Stand was good until the last 100 pages or so, I thought. I hated the end, just like most of his books.

It seems, and this isn't limited to King, the longer the book, the more disappointing the ending.
