Compared to other novels like World War Z or FantasticLand, this one isn't as good. I'll still read another similar novel by Brooks. I love this style of found-footage / survivor interviews. 

Here's to hoping that Kate and Palomino are out in the woods, killing these monsters.

I adore this novel, I think about it all the time, wishing there was more. A movie adaptation could do well or even a mini-series. I remember details about characters long after reading, the audiobook was fantastic.
