I'd be to busy shitting a brick to focus on aiming perfectly for the head. Or a kneecap so they slow down. But with a shot gun you get considerably less shots out before you have to reload. I would rather have a rifle and not even let them get that close to me!!

Cell was good, but I would hardly call it a zombie book... Later on the zombies start floating and it gets all weird. Read the first 3/4 and you're good, haha

It is the most disturbing comic I've ever read. While they're not exactly zombies, the book is definitely in the same vein. The premise is that a disease has run across America where the sufferers are simply evil: murder, rape, dismemberment. There are no limits to what they will do to the non-Crossed and, eventually, to one another. It's pretty horrifying.

You can read all three novels for free before deciding whether you might want to buy. Wellington breaks a little with the typical Zombie trope and has a few who are capable of intelligent thought. There is a larger (unconscious) zombie horde surrounding a few undead who've managed to become something more like liches. The third book is barely about zombies at all and entirely about liches. I know this is a heresy, but I liked Wellington's books better than WWZ. I just hate the "oral history" device. It didn't work for me in Rant by Chuck Palahniuk (non-zombie) and it didn't work for me with Brooks either. =( I've read both World war Z and the Wellingtion books in blog-form, and i do think Wellingtons take on things is vastly superior. There are some fantastic characters in there, and even though the plot relies on some pretty fantastical elements, i still think the plot is a lot more well put together. I just found World war Z boring, and it doesn't really go anywhere, or tell anything interesting.

Suge member Turbo Cunt Joined: 11/26/07 Location: The Rezervation Posts: 41,190	I just finished reading The Rising by Brian Keene. Wow. That book was fucking cool, I really enjoyed it. It took me two days to finish it, I was so engrossed in it. But the ending had me pissed off. And it said nothing about having a sequal. So I went to the bookstore a day later and started looking at Keene's other novels and lo and behold, there was another zombie book which picks up where The Rising leaves off. SWEET!
