It's an awesome book. I picked it up before I left D.C. on my adventure to my new residence and it was well worth the price tag. That said, I have no idea how they're going to make a coherent, faithful 2 hour of movie out of the material. It is better suited for a miniseries on HBO.

I bought this book for my mother for Christmas along with the Zombie Survival Handbook. She loves it.

I've been meaning to get into Brooks' Zombie books, but I have a substantial backlog due to being apparently unable to read 300 pages in under two fucking months. I plan to kill at least one on the drive to Flordia next week, so maybe I'll bump them up.

Books are pretty much obsolete nowadays.

I don't like books on tape. The experience isn't the same.

Still, that might be the best path for someone like myself with such severe nod-off reading habits.

Maybe you're just illiterate.

Poor sentence composition or illiteracy? $:-\$

I had no extra characters to work with. It seemed pretty obvious that by listen, I meant listen to his recommendation!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #12 on:** March 05, 2007, 03:59:44 PM »

Also read The Children of Men, I havent seen the movie but I bet the books better.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #13 on:** March 05, 2007, 04:03:50 PM »

I'll take that bet, sir. TO THE GRAVE!

Robo · « **Reply #14 on:** March 05, 2007, 04:07:33 PM »

If you only listen to MAF's recommendations once - read Children of Men!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #15 on:** March 05, 2007, 04:11:02 PM »

Well played, sir. Well played.

you can save a lot of characters by just changing the beginning to "Patel right again!"

Himu · « **Reply #17 on:** March 05, 2007, 05:22:47 PM »

I listen to patel all the time

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #18 on:** March 05, 2007, 05:44:30 PM »

Children of Men is really good.

Another good apocalyptic/post apocalyptic horror is I Am Legend, I love that movie. I think a movie is being made of it.

I'm going to wait for paperback, books are too damned expensive these days.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #21 on:** March 06, 2007, 12:55:55 AM »

Yeah hardcover price kept me from getting this book. 20+ dollars is criminal

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #22 on:** March 06, 2007, 12:58:00 AM »

It's worth it. Seriously.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #23 on:** March 06, 2007, 01:12:22 AM »
