World War Z The Complete Edition Audiobook Full Cast VersionI hear that there are still missing bits in the Complete version, but Id like to know which ones. Does anyone know I hear theres also an unabridged version available outside the US, but that its not very well recordedread. Anybody have any help for me 9 comments share save hide report 100 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best. The original audiobook version of WWZ had only a subset of the storylines. I think they only chose the storylines with the most essential events and cut out those that didnt move the story along. For instance, they cut out the storyline about the space station, the nuclear submarine, the whalesocean, etc. For the storylines they kept in, they had to remove some of the parts of those stories that had ties any cut storylines. The easiest example of this is the part about the blind hibakusha Japanese guy fighting zombies by himself in the Japanese forest. That story was part of the original version, but they cut out the part near the end where he came across the hikkikomori otaku guy and trained him to be a part of his Shield society. When the Complete version came out, they added all of the storylines they had removed in the original version, and got narrators to fill those storylines (some of the BEST narrators, like Simon Pegg and Alfred Molina). What the Complete version DIDNT do was re-record the pieces with the original narrators. So while the Complete version added the hikkikomori otaku guys story back in, they didnt add the part where he meets up with the blind hibakusha. That part was told from the hibakushas perspective, and they didnt re-record his story since it was part of the original. Because that part was kind of near the end but not quite, it probably would have required an entire re-recording to get the performance just right. There are other instances of where this happens across the entire novel, so I imagine they just decided to keep the performances from the original and augment those the best they could with the storylines that they cut out. Unless they re-record the original narrators, the Complete Edition is the closest version you can get to an unabridged version of WWZ. Unless any one else has done this already, Ill try to catalog the parts where the audiobook changes from the book. Its a little nitpicky because from what I recall it only happens in spurts, but Ill try my best and report back to the subreddit 8 Share Report Save level 2 Original Poster 4 years ago That is very helpful. World War Z The Complete Edition Audiobook Update The OlderIt makes me a bit sad but, working in the financial industry, I can totally understand why they didnt try to wrangle everyone to update the older books. Were you to actually catalog the differences, youd be an outright HERO:) Either way, thanks, a bunch 3 Share Report Save Continue this thread level 1 Audiobibliophile 4 years ago Yeah.
