I'm not impressed with World War Z so far. The Zombie Survival Guide was much better.


WWZ and The Zombie Survival Guide are very different books. If you were expecting something like the survival guide, put the book down now or prepare to be disappointed.


I wasn't expecting the same, just along the same lines. And it's not the content, it's the pacing. But I just started reading.


Good! 8) I'd suggest sticking with it for a little bit longer, as I really found it to be a great read!

Wishful thinking. On my part, anyway...

As for World War Z, I have read a 100 pages, and gotten used to the interview style. It is now quite interesting.

Eh, don't let it bother you too much, godzillabot. If it helps any, I've never been too fussed on zombies either.

Moving along, I just bought two novels from the Space Marine Battles series, Battle of the Fang and The Purging of Kadillus. Since I've always found the Dark Angels to be pretty interesting, I got stuck into the latter. And I have to say that I'm really enjoying it. I almost can't put the darn thing down!

Bizarre, I just picked up that book last week. Awesome stuff, I love zombie-apocalypse stuff. Loved the Megatron reference.

Finally finished The Litigators by John Grisham. About to start The Four Horsemen by Ben Sussman. Never read anything by this author. Hope it's good.
