George Romero, what more can you say....well alot really. His films were ground breaking but the book isnt that great. Dont get me wrong if you havent seen the film you would be impressed but if you have seen the film as I suspect many readers of this type of novel would have then it simply is the film in word for word.

More than a horror novel and film, DAWN is a way of life!
28 May 1999
Format:Hardcover
Simply this: The film, DAWN OF THE DEAD, changed my life back in 1979 when I was a kid. I honestly and truly never have been quite the same since. Seriously. The film novelization sticks relatively close to the actual film, though does add some interesting little expositionary passages, conversations, and character motivations--not to mention a bit more background into the characters' lives. If you love the film you'll definitely love the novel! It's gripping, chilling, and mind-bogglingly exciting and addictive. What a story and what an epicly grand and inspired stage Romero chooses to play it all out on! Amazing stuff...at once nightmarish and bleak, yet also life-affirming, hopeful, and humorous. Tell me Romero isn't a genius (this and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is all the proof I need!). This book is just a rousing rollercoaster ride--as is the film. I eat, drink, and sleep this novel (and the film, which even inspired me to publish a bi-monthly zine devoted to it), and you will too. A masterpiece!

a great adaption to a horror icon

Susanna Sparrow did a wonderful job with this book. While staying true to the characters of Fran, Roger and Peter, she also gave them a little something extra you can't see in the movie.
She allowed us to hear their thoughts.
By doing this the characters become even more real and I really enjoyed this book.
To those who want to buy the hardcover it is only 6 by 9, so its not very big compared to most hardcover editions.
No zombie fan can say they have it all if this book is't in their library.
Even after 30 years it's still one of the best books out there because of the origination of the story.

The next best thing to being there! Zombies Rock!

Format:Hardcover
This version of Dawn Of The Dead is a must have! With Full color stills from the movie, you can really appreciate Tom Savini's craftsmanship. Even though it's out of print, a few copies are out there somewhere. Try to find one if you simply love ZOMBIES!
