What a ride! I can totally see how is the person who brought us the screenplays of Jurassic Park and Spider-Man; his books read like a film.  "Cold Storage" had great pacing, enjoyable characters, and a wild premise that seemed fairly rooted in real modern- day science.

What a fun ride. This was not high brow literature, but it wasn't trying to be; it was a fun, funny, sometimes gross romp.
I love unique twists on the zombie genre, and this was a good one.

An amazing, page-turning thriller. Koepp uses cinematic story telling to keep you on the edge of your seat - reading the book feels like watching a block buster movie.

5.0

This book blew me away! It's incredibly unique in that it balances highly tense moments with almost heartwarming ones. The characters genuinely are lovable which makes the book even scarier for you. This honestly may be my new favorite thriller. It's such a perfect book. If you're seeing this, please read it

Edit upon reread: this book still holds a unique place for me. It's so rare to find a character driven thriller where the characters are not irredeemable jerks. This may be the only thriller to ever make me tear up. The plot is really good. The use of the perspective from the fungus riddled mind is phenomenal. I'll be trying to find something else like this for a long while

Picked this up at the airport and so glad I did! So funny and well written, creative and tense, loved it. Only wish the resolution was a little more drawn out!
