I am glad you enjoyed it, Carole! I always assumed it was about zombies too. I like the idea of listening to the audio version.

Usually when I enjoy a movie, it makes me want to grab the book because I know that the book is always better. I grabbed this freebie too. I'll have to give it a try.

I actually liked the film, though. Of course, the ending was awful, but that had more to do with the dog than anything else. <br /><br />Glad you liked this one.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825037414785205085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875242362336197892.post-49819737092766507452018-01-18T19:33:22.945-06:002018-01-18T19:33:22.945-06:00I really don't remember a whole lot from the m...I really don't remember a whole lot from the movie but I don't scare all that easily.
