“I see I left out World War Z the book”

I found it far more interesting than the film, starting with Max Brooks being Mel Brooks’ son. I liked the format too. My older son, who got me to read the book and watch the movie, had opinions exactly opposite mine.

The movie could have been good, but the required writing just wasn’t there.

I see I left out World War Z the book — which might be more interesting than the film.
