    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.
