Just listened to the audiobook, brought a tear to my eye more than it scared me suprisingly.  I'll have to re-read the book methinks

Love the book.  Considering how segmented it is, I'm interested to see how they'll adapt it.

Do you need to read the Zombie Survival Guide first..... well, do you recommend?

Not at all.  World War Z just takes some of the stuff in there to actually tell a proper story.  They actually explain a lot of Survival Guide stuff in World War Z as how the living start to cope with the undead.

Awesome, thanks.

Just downloaded the book from iTunes and will start reading it once I finish my current book.

It's an interesting book.  My biggest gripe is that for the most part the characters don't really have a distinctive voice.  Like, if I flipped to a page at random and started reading, I wouldn't be able to tell from the language alone if I was reading a story from the Russian soldier lady, the Japanese kid, the South African guy, or whoever else is in the book.  The main difference is that the non-American characters tend to use the phrase "You Americans" more often.
