I saw the movie this summer and while not an amazing movie, I was interested enough to check out the book that it was based on. As always, the book is better (and different) than the movie. What I liked most about the movie forms the core of the book. Told from many different perspectives, WWZ isn't so much about zombies as it is about exploring how different cultures and world views would react to a global catastrophe, bringing out the best and worst of us. I found it to be an interesting and entertaining discussion of geopolitical, economic, social, and moral case studies...oh ya and it has zombies!
I thought that the book was also excellent (and of course better than the movie). I read this book and its precursor the Zombie Survival Guide several years before the movie came out. I really enjoyed the nature of the various accounts telling the larger story.
