Loved the different accounts from so many different perspectives. Not sure how the movie will be able to capture this as there was no "main" character in the book, but look forward to it anyway.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-41603061672462728372013-06-24T18:28:23.042-07:002013-06-24T18:28:23.042-07:00For some reason Zombie lit just doesn't appeal...For some reason Zombie lit just doesn't appeal to me at all--it's so unrealistic I think! (which is totally dumb considering some of the other unrealistic books I love). BUT I got this one on audio and I'm really looking forward to listening to it. I also listened to Warm Bodies earlier this year and really enjoyed it--though I think that one is probably a little more lighthearted than this one. Glad to hear you recommended this one. Maybe you can still convince your friend to read it? Sounds like a book that has a little bit of everything for everyone.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-80808993392121587462013-06-24T14:13:45.788-07:002013-06-24T14:13:45.788-07:00So glad you participated with me!

I also was drawn to the more personal stories and thought it was an insightful cut into what our world would be like if anything, even zombies, were to destroy it. And, as you know, it is not just about zombies!<br /><br />While I didn't love it, I liked it a lot and thought it was extremely unique and smartly written. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie this weekend!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-73501919280710664202013-06-24T12:09:57.344-07:002013-06-24T12:09:57.344-07:00I haven't read the book.
