Love reading this while I'm completely alone in a cabin in the PNW. Strategic mistakes were made.
This is a much smaller story than World War Z and also less of a feat. At the same time, it's able to tell a story of a Bigfoot massacre and make it truly scary and haunting. It gave me that sort of vaguely unsettled, I-need-to-watch-a-soothing-movie-now feeling, so I would call that successful.
I thought about rating this a solid 4 stars, but decided to err on the side of lower rating because of one detail. This book takes place 1.5 hrs south of Seattle in fall-winter and guess how many times it rained in the story.
NEVER. Not ONCE.
All that research, and yet here we are.
