I'm putting my money on "he wrote it" LOL, and is in the process of raising funding for the movie. |

You can't prove anything! I think the words, "Zombie Flick Fund" scrawled on the side of your piggybank gave it away. |

My copy arrived this morning, along with a biography of Paul Dirac.
Which one should I read first I wonder?

OK. I read the first 10 pages.
It is every bit as crap as I expected, and I'm certainly too lazy to plough through a couple of hundred pages in the hope that it improves. On the plus side it looks enough like the standard "penguin classics" cover that I can hide it on the shelf with the genuine literature and hope nobody notices.
Over to Dirac.

Damn I was actually tempted to get that. Is it like a new story or just the romance replaced with bloody gore?

The story seems to be essentially the same*, except for the hordes of undead and the ninja skills of the sisters. The problem is that the zombie sections seem to have been integrated quite clumsily.
I think it could have been pretty good in the hands of a better writer, but unfortunately the author wasn't skilled enough to really pull it off.
I can see it working a lot better as a film.
*not that I can really remember it.

Yes, it is a disappointment. Well, not really, because I didn't expect it to be good. I'll rephrase: yes, it is bad.

Damn I was so looking forward to having that on my shelf if it was passable.

You could always buy it for its cover alone.
