It's an incredibly entertaining piece of work, rather "light" in comparisson to a great many of King's latter day works (there's a sub text of gallows humour throughout the whole thing). Not his best work, but then, one gets the impression that it was never intended to be; it is, first and foremost, a piece of entertainment rather than a work of gravity. There are also some VERY nice reference to The Dark Tower, if you happen to have read that series.

I would agree with this. It is light reading and enjoyable.
After reading it you can fantasize about it really happening as a means of getting your revenge on all those people who answer their phone as soon as it rings, even if you are in the middle of a conversation with them.

I rather enjoyed the immense amount of carnage prevalent throughout.
And I thought it was fairly well constructed and well worth a read. It's not quite as intricate as his masterpiece Needful Things, mind, but you can't go wrong with it.

Well I bought this a good while ago and being a Stephen King fan, I thought it wasn't one of his best books.
I haven't even finished reading it, which is strange because usually I wouldn't put it down.
I did like The Dark Tower references (love those books)
The characters are likeable and the story is alright.
I'd give it 6.5-7/10

And Seeta, I just finished WWZ And I loved every page of it
You know they are going to make it into a movie... or a mini series -- I can't remember.

^No, you're right.
Zombies is as close to a good description as you'll get. And there were a couple of main characters - 2 guys, 1 of whom was pegged as gay and the other searching for his little boy; as well as a teen girl and a pre-teen boy.

^That Harvard guy was beautifully created, I thought. And yeah, I was on the edge of my seat as well for the most part.
