Tried to read this book back in high school, but wasn’t a fan of the interview style it was written In.
Started the audio book yesterday and finished it this afternoon. I really do not get the hype around the book. They had some really good stories in it, but a lot of the stories were a little boring.
I guess I enjoyed the actual zombie attacking stories than the political and scientific ones.

I always enjoyed the movie, but the book was nowhere near the movie.

I do think it would be a great mini series with each episode being a different interview/story

I still think about the soldier story where they are blaring Iron Maiden and mowing down zombies.

The book was pretty simplistic but frankly told a much better story than the movie

I have said this here before, but the movie should have told the book story, with each interview/chapter given to a different director, each given license to create independent, potentially wildly different, styles / music/ lighting/etc, presumably corresponding to the different perspectives of the interviewees.

but each director would have a fixed set of "rules" so that it does not feel like separate movies. For example, how the zombies look and move, etc.

each chapter introduced similar to the book, with the interviewer being the string the ties the whole story together

a Tarantino chapter, a Baylis chapter, etc.
