      Nah, it was fine for people that didn’t read the book.

        Didn’t read the books and can’t remember much of the movie but one thing.

        The way the zombies moved as a fluid.

        That was the best depiction of horde behavior I have seen. The thought that they climb over obstacles by climbing over each other was brilliant and scary.

        I only read the book afterwards. Leaving the theater I thought, “Wow, what a shit zombie movie, what’s with the zombie tower. Anyways I want ice cream.”

        After reading the book I thought, “Wow, this makes the movie seem even worse than I thought, adapting this would’ve been way better. They didn’t even follow the same in-universe rules!”

            Nah, the book is great, definitely one the best zombie fictions out there. It even spawned a pretty great fan fiction that addressed one of the hanging plot threads.

            I didn’t buy everything from it but it’s best to just consider them as separate properties and judge them on their own merits.
