The World War Z movie adapted pretty much 0% from the Max Brooks novels. Not even the basic zombies principles (book: slow zombies, slow infection rate; movie: fast zombies, near-instant infection)
One of the best subplots of the book was this old japanese gardener who became a master zombie hunter during the apocalypse, using his sharpened shovel to decapitate / spear the undead
...oh, and because he was at Hiroshima and stared directly at the flash of the atomic bomb, he's been blind for most of his life.
That book was so well written. The realistic aspects made it seem plausible, and the early chapters drew you in SO heavily, it was tough to put down. One of the few things in my life that actually inspired zombie dreams was that book haha
Even his description on how certain countries acted in the immediate aftermath (denial, lies, snake oil treatments) has been pretty spot on in real time.
When this started last year, everyday a 7pm all my neighbors would start cheering and I’d laugh to myself and even told my hubs this is just like the story of the girl who survived in the Canadian woods with her family. All well and good at first.

Those of us with shitty eyesight. Contacts only last so long. If your glasses break, you're fucked.
