A movie should at least have the best scenes, and that should include the story of that blind Japanase guy who stays in Japan when anyone else gets out, and then finds out why: because he needs to nurture the garden and free it of any unnatural things.

And of course what it should also contain episodes of that guy selling snake oil and getting rich, but afterwards getting hunted down in his gated villa etc.

There are so many different views on such a global catastrophe in this book, I always thought about it more being about total war than about zombies at all. It's just that the war is going to be a total if any fatal casualties you have at once change sides and continue to fight for the enemy.

The book has many, many such great scenes, characters, situations. It's what makes it a good book! And it is exactly why the movie gets it so wrong, by basically avoiding all of that. So disappointing!!!
