Estoy un poco decepcionado ya que esta es una de las pocas ocasiones en las que la película es mejor que el libro. Pensé que estarían más relacionados y lo cierto es que no es así.

Básicamente el libro trata acerca de alguien que entrevista a varias personas que han tenido alguna experiencia con los zombies. Hasta aquí todo está bien. Las cosas se complican cuando a lo largo del libro hay MUCHÍSIMOS testimonios, lo que causa que cada capítulo sea una persona diferente contando la historia y (en mi caso) una voz diferente en mi cabeza para cada persona mencionada en el libro.

Hay capítulos extremadamente cortos y otros que son lo suficientemente extensos como para contar una historia decente, pero no son algo que sorprenda demasiado. Simplemente cuenta una historia y ya.

Es un buen libro. El único detalle es el cambio de lugar en cada capítulo.

Switched to the audiobook (movie tie-in, not abridged) and what a difference. If I had one complaint about the format, it was obvious Max Brooks parts were recorded separate making it less interview-like. And he didn't sound natural as an interviewer. That aside, the voice cast was amazing.
