I am chiming in on this one. I love this book. We have brought this book up at a few Need Coffee panels. The book is the written, oral account of the War against the Zombies. While I was reading it I was thinking Ken Burns The Civil War. Brooks had managed to voice so many different people in society effected by the war. Then listening to the audio book each story has a different actor. Though there are sections missing in the audio it is an excellent listen.
For me I really think that the style that would work the best is to create World War Z as a documentary. Just like Ken Burn's Civil War. Who would have thought that watching still photographs can hold the attention span of so many Americans? My idea is to have a main narrator telling an over all story. Actors telling their story with photos and re-enactments. The book has no real plot per se. Thought it is a chronological progression of the beginning, creation of the zombies, to the effective ending of the war. Being on a sub could have never seemed so dangerous. J. Michael Straczynski sited to screen write can be a hit and a miss at times. B5 great. Rising Stars started out great then fell flat. Kind of like a mentos in a diet coke bottle. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
