The Undead...

Pick your poison, shamblers or bloodsuckers, either way, you can't go wrong.

Charlie Huston's third novel in his Joe Pitt series (Half the Blood of Brooklyn) is out there, and it takes the story in a whole new direction. Good book, but it'll be interesting to see if Huston can hold the story together now that Joe's out in the hinterlands.

On the shambling front, I picked up World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide. The Survival Guide is extremely amusing. WWZ I'm still getting in to. The writing is good, but I'm not sure the style is ever going to grab me. If it tries, I've read the Survival Guide, and I'll be prepared.

The interview format of WWZ took some getting used to. By the end of the book I was thoroughly enjoying it.

For me at least, WWZ > ZSG.

I haven't read the Joe Pitt series. I'm assuming it's good, since you're on the third book.

I really liked the third Pitt novel. I can't wait to see where it takes him.

I loved WWZ but I haven't read ZSG. I like the story format of WWZ. It didn't look like ZSG had any real stories, per se - am I wrong and just didn't look close enough?
