After reading this book, I'm now less inclined to see the movie when it releases*. I think I'm just about done with zombies, werewolves, & vampires. WWZ started off fairly well but I became bored about 2/3 of the way through and was ready to be done long before reaching the ending.
The writing style is decent and some of the 'interviews' were poignant and thought-provoking. I particularly enjoyed the ironic new Cuba/USA relationship. That was pretty humorous but not very realistic, (oh wait, we are talking about a zombie book here, so 'realistic' is not really part of the vernacular). That's the thing, this is fairly mindless (sorry, couldn't resist) entertainment and gets repetitious quickly. I kept waiting for something more than the same story from different perspectives, maybe a twist to the ending or something. Nope, the story just kept on plodding forward, making me moan with frustration.
