Maybe if they hadn't watched any of it, but the book isn't like anything else in the genre, it's basically an unnamed UN reporter going around talking to survivors from all around the world and documenting their experiences of the zombie uprising and the book follows a general timeline from start to end by jumping between stories; so it'd be more like, I dunno, LOST in the sense that there would be lots of flashbacks - the characters range from soldiers to politicians to every day people...
It's one of the best books I've ever read; you could replace the zombies with any other kind of plague/infection and it would read the same, it's more about the impact on the world after a global catastrophe.
