The premise of this bestselling book is that we have survived the zombie apocalypse, but are still haunted by what happened when the dead began to rise. This book is a compilation of the stories of several survivors. The tales of how it began, the great panic, when we stopped ignoring what was right in front of our faces, and tells what happened around the world, and above it, to average people who rose to deal with the challenge of dealing with the living dead. The personal accounts describe the changing religious, geo-political, and environmental aftermath of the Zombie War.
Max Brooks is also the author of The Zombie Survival guide that gives the reader complete instructions on how to deal with the living dead. Survivalists and disaster preparedness are themes throughout the novel. Several interviews in the novel, especially those set in the United States, focus on fictional policy changes to train the surviving Americans to rebuild the country and fight the zombies.
The book was bought in 2007 and was supposed to start filming in 2009 but there have been delays. I will defiantly watch this in the theaters if its finished before the next zombie uprising.
