Sideburnt you totally beat me to that one! I've heard some great things about Feed myself. Interesting comments you made on that one though, maybe I'll stay away...

Looks like I'm going to be unpopular here when I say this, but I just couldn't stick with World War Z... and I really, REALLY wanted to. I was looking for a change of pace, quirky little horror title, and I heard great things there.

The book had me from the first several chapters; it's very unique, very War of the Worlds like, I'd say, in terms of the feel and presentation (With a CNN twist? Does that possibly make sense??)

But I felt like the gimmick kind of wore out towards the final quarter or so. Could be a tribute to the writer, though... because there were just a handful of stories and characters that I loved and wanted to hear more about, only to kind of be bored with the following stories that, to me, didn't add up to the same excellence. (For those that haven't read, it's more of a collection of short stories with an overriding theme... that theme being brain eaters...)

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies might HAVE to be my next ticket based on the comments I've seen here though!
