Daniel Robert Epstein: World War Z author Max Brooks

I got an advanced copy from the San Diego Comic Con and I'm reading it right now.

This book is flippin' awesome.

i cant wait to get this book.hopefully today ill be able to go to barnes and noble.

I'm anticipating this with equal parts enthusiasm and trepidation. While I like the concept it remains to be seen how it will be handled, how faithful it will be. Also I don't think Romero's social commentary has been very smart. I always found him to be blunt and simplistic. And Brooks' championing of his insight is kind of disconcerting to me.

On the other hand I'm really looking forward to the audio book now. Holy shit what a cast!

I'm loving the book but I can't see how you could make a film out of it. There's too many stories, too much stuff going on. Why blow that cash on one movie when you could have the ultimate zombie tv-series with each hour long episode a chapter or two from the book? Oh wait I do know why; it's all about the box office cash.

good interview - making me go out and get the book.

i miss DRE.

ive got to say something

GREAT BOOK. im just now finishing the zombie survival guide, and well baby jesus knew what he was doing when he said let there be max brooks

World War Z is basically the best idea to come along in a long, long time. I'd love to see other SF-ish subjects treated that way, but it's clearly pretty much the best large-scale zombie story possible. The Walking Dead is (imho) the best small-scale. Both because they deal with more than the usual couple hour snapshot of life-with-the-zombies.

I've walked by the book a couple of times at the bookstore...I've been meaning to take a look at it.

I finished this book in like one day and then didn't stop talking about it for like 3 days afterwards. It is really well thought out and even though it is about zombies a lot of the social interactions feel very real.
