Ive just got this from somewhere. :shifty: When I put it into itunes it comes up as 93 different tracks. :fp: Is there anyway it can be condensed or put into another section so it doesnt appear in my music library?

Fabian Delph is a banana split.

I read through this when I was over in New York. It was a fantastic read!

As others have said the amount of detail is amazing.

The chapter about the girl who hid in the church before the zombies attacked was chilling stuff.

What's the difference between these two versions? Is the page number difference just due to different formatting?

This one has 320 pages

This one has 352

WTF

The second one is the second edition, which I read. I don't think there's anything extra in there.

The woman crash landed in the swamp land is the best part IMO.


The part about North Korea was the best. Where did everybody go???

Got this for christmas and finished it a few days ago. Brilliant read!

There's too many great stories to pick out a single winner, but I found Yonkers, the downed pilot and the International space station part to be my favourites.

The only thing I remember about it was the submarine part and The Trooper reference.

Really need to get back into this. Half way through then seemed to stop for some reason.

Pfft, North Korea was better. That's just crying out for the Metro 2033 guys to videogame-ise it. Same for the Parisian catacombs.

I finished listening to the audiobook of this last year and it's strawberry floating amazing. The narrators are superb and the music is fantastic. Definitely worth listening to the audiobook rather than reading over the book if you can.

Really the submarine section? That was terrible.

I thought it was all great, all adding up to create a coherent, believable post-Zombie apocalyptic world.

I've said it before, maybe in this very thread, but I thought the book was going to be 7-10 short stories, that followed a character or group of characters in way more detail, and the stories would reference/come across each other. It was a disappointment that it wasn't like that, but it was great nonetheless.

Hence why I remembered it. I thought it was a bit jarring, seeing as the rest of the book was pretty enjoyable.

Really should get a copy of this, my brother lent me it originally.
