Everyone is excited for this one, I think! And for good reason- Max Brooks is awesome. I am really happy to let everyone know that this book is great. It is fast-paced and exciting. It has wonderful characters and feels real, much like WWZ felt real. I love that it’s about Bigfoot. That was such a fun angle. There is a dark humor to this novel, along with just a general darkness that adds a really nice grittiness to all of it.

I loved World War Z so I was very excited to see a new title by Max Brooks. I was not disappointed. Similar to WWZ the story is told through journal entries and interviews. The planned community of Greenloop has everything a techie could desire while being nestled in the forest near Mt. Rainier. The houses are ultra high tech, groceries are delivered by drone. The big cites are close enough to visit for fun but far enough away that the residents feel really in touch with nature. Then Mt. Rainier blows up, they become cut off from the outside world and suddenly nature gets in touch with them. This book explores the struggles between man and beast while also highlighting the dangerous way we rely on technology and "good feelings" I wish I could quote from it because there a whole pages I would share with friends. If you like Bigfoot, scary stories or newsreel like fiction this book is for you! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced reading copy.
