Book Review: Devolution by Max Brooks

Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch MassacreDevolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre by Max Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hands-down the best book I've read in 2020. I've never finished the last page of a book and considered immediately starting to re-read it, but I did with Devolution. Suspense, thrills, conspiracies, survival, horror—this book is a masterful portrait of surviving against the worst odds and the worst monsters. It's a modern-day John Carpenter's The Thing. I can't wait for a movie to be made (and I'd be shocked if one weren't already in the works). Max Brooks, please hit us with your next book in less time than what passed between World War Z and Devolution. So terrific!

Bonus: Kate Mulgrew and Nathan Fillion also appear in the audiobook.
