Tonight there will be zombies!

I am going to see World War Z tonight. I am in zombie heaven. I just finished the book on my lunch hour and really loved it - it was an oral history of this great zombie war and structured in an ever shifting POV of first person account interviews. Just really great stuff. I have heard that the movie is totally different which has me somewhat worried. They even changed what they nickname the zombies in the film - filmverse they call them ZEKES and in the book they call them ZACK. Not sure of the reason for that very basic change but it is there. I also have listened to the award winning audible book which was a very abridged version of the book - and it was stellar. So I am really into this one. I am seriously worried about the disappointment factor but I read the LA Times review and they seemed to like it and it stands up as a movie. They did also say that it is very different than the book.

I am sure I will post a follow up on this one. I am going to leave myself open to the movie being a different story and having very little relation to the book - but for the over arching topic of zombies. I think if I accept this now, I will be better off as I view the film. Okie. Just putting this out there.

Trala.
