Poll: World War Z - should I go get it and read it?

I think he's now the official canon as far as the standard zombie's traits are concerned, from his zombie survival guide

He pretty much takes most of it from Romero and expands on it except Brooks gives a cause.

Well of course, everyone builds on the archetypes that have come before them, but I wouldn't consider Max Brooks "stealing" anything
