This book is 100% going to stick with me for a while. I love the format of a "non fiction" book focused around a "real life event," via interviews. I found the different people telling their own stories had their own, unique voices that all felt like real life interviews. And I love that, just like a real tragedy, sometimes you don't quite get all the answers you want or need

(the Warthogs, anyone?!)

Be warned, the content can get very dark, but if you're in the mood for something like that this book is for you!

I never read a horror book before, so it was shocking me the amount of gore that happened in this book. I really enjoyed this book though for the reason I enjoy reading dystopian/post apocalypse books. Definitely read the trigger warning if you're considering reading this book

Intriguing. Great world-building! The technology aspect of the book was a bit weak and I feel it could have been cut out without affecting the story.

This book is fucking CRAZY! I didn’t think I’d be a fan of the format but it was very easy to pick up and read. The author was amazing with all of the different characters and SO MUCH HAPPENING!! my jaw dropped at certain points and I was thoroughly invested. I couldn’t stop reading.
