The book was absolutely amazing and the film adaptation doesn't seem to have very much to do with it which is deeply disappointing. As Niall said, the book had slow zombies and, rather than being a novel about zombies, it was more a political dialogue with a background of 'zombies took over the world' but you could have quite easily replaced zombies with another international catastrophe and ended up with a book that was much the same. Regardless, it's exciting to see a film that was largely filmed in Glasgow and for it to be an adaptation of a book I loved so I'm excited to see it. Hopefully it'll be a good film in its own right, I'm going to try and not think about the fact it shares a name with the book and treat it as a standalone film.
