Being the progenitor of an entire genre, I had high hopes for this book. The plot and story line follow almost verbatim the movie. In fact, the book appears to be a mere adaptation of the screenplay into a fiction novel. Unfortunately, I felt the writing was poor and needed to be updated/edited for a more modern audience. From a proliferation of run-on sentences to head-hopping four or five characters in a single scene, I found it all too distracting to focus on the actual story. I really did want to give this book more stars, but feel that with the writing as-is, it causes too much of a major hurdle for this book to overcome. It's really a shame as I love good zombie fiction.
