I agree that wwz is nothing like the outstanding book, and your superb review of the film makes it clear why u hated it. I'm not sure actually why I like it so much as the cgi is awful but having seen it a good 20 times it holds a place in my affections. Happy to agree to disagree my friend.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-75254380636701630022015-02-26T12:28:12.442+00:002015-02-26T12:28:12.442+00:00Simon, I'm glad you enjoyed my review of "...Simon, I'm glad you enjoyed my review of "Under a Graveyard Sky." I have no idea if it is available as an audio book. Sorry.<br /><br />Oh dear, you mentioned the WWZ film. It is without doubt, the worst zombie film I have ever seen. Other than its title it bears no relation to the excellently written novel. No, I hated this film long before my love of Chibi gaming took root, so don't blame that. I could give you a very long list of reasons why the WWZ film is so shite but that would take far too long. Plus, where do I begin to describe its many failings? I'm afraid on this matter we must agree to disagree.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-63232637241143968102015-02-26T11:27:22.254+00:002015-02-26T11:27:22.254+00:00...

I shudder to say this but I've been reading everything on Kindle lately (don't hate me Edward) because its easier during my commute so I might consider the Kindle edition.
