Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre by Max Brooks
2.0
Ok, after a few days to process I know how I feel about this book. It is a bit slow rolling at first, but when it picks up it goes quick. I have a few pet peeves about this book though, bare in mind I was listening to the audio book instead of reading it so things could have been lost in translation
1: for some reason they were worried about having to take in refugees from the natural disaster when it seemed they were pretty much in the middle of it
2: I feel like the natural disaster is forgotten the minute the Sasquatch is introduced
3: I get it’s supposed to be a fish out of water scenario with a bunch of city yuppies being stuck fighting against nature but GOD the characters were so helpless and ridiculous some times it made it unbearable to listen to
4. The ending made 0 logical sense, I am all for suspending disbelief when it comes to horror novels but Palomino and Kate’s grand adventure is so off character from what we read so far in the book that I couldn’t understand the choice
It was a fun read and I wouldn’t turn anyone away from reading it, but I won’t be picking it up again.
