I haven't seen the movie, but from what I understand it's more inspired by than based on.

I've gone through the same things where I have genres I just don't enjoy. One of the genres I don't like sci-fi. I just don't really enjoy the whole outer space, alien story. I won't hold it against you that one of my favorite genres you don't enjoy. :) <br /><br />That's one reason I enjoy zombie books so much. It shows what we can do without our inhibitions and civilization to hold us back and at the same time the survivors aren't much different as they're reduced to instinct to fight or flight. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732897433829594654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406155534006904272.post-78531747069877824052014-05-14T13:04:27.460-04:002014-05-14T13:04:27.460-04:00Another zombie lover!

I love 'meeting' new people, so your visits and comments will always be appreciated.<br /><br />I'm afraid that 'zombie' books just aren't my 'thing', although I do enjoy a good horror story and am not above being scared by my reading. <br /><br />Since beginning to blog and accepting review requests, I have read from quite a diverse section of new to me genres and authors, which I probably would never have bought for myself. However, there still remains a couple of genres which I just don't seem able to get along with .... and zombies is one of them, either in book or film mode!<br /><br />Your teaser lines do offer a real sense of the terrible suffering of a race though and I can well imagine just how the need for survival would show us all up in our true colours!<br /><br />Enjoy your re-read and the rest of your week,<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406155534006904272.post-78233220731075444662014-05-13T20:47:48.954-04:002014-05-13T20:47:48.954-04:00Oh, YES!

Some zombie books can be awesome and they really can be funny or scary depending on what you want. :) This book is more scary than funny as it interviews all the first hand witnesses of the war.

I personally enjoy being scared so I love horror movies and scary stories. :) <br /><br />The movie has the same name and focuses on the same general idea but they really aren't that similar. The movie follows the outbreak of the zombies immediately when it happens and they deal with the zombie outbreak. The book takes place approximately 40 years after the war is over. The author goes around interviewing all the first hand witnesses and gather their stories from the start of the outbreak to the the final battle. I enjoyed both the movie and the book. :) <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732897433829594654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406155534006904272.post-16889160069071424242014-05-13T15:43:46.780-04:002014-05-13T15:43:46.780-04:00I've never been one for zombies (they give me ...I've never been one for zombies (they give me nightmares).
