Devolution
By Max Brooks
I have read both of Brooks' zombie books, but this book is its own thing. Kind of like World War Z, this book is a first person account of a tragic event. But this time the monsters are Big Foot like creatures instead of Zombies. The premise sounded so dumb, that Big Foot, or a lot of Big Foot things attack, but when I saw the audiobook was recorded with a full cast of celebrities, I had to give it a whirl.
The book revolves around a volcano eruption that leads to a pack of creatures attacking all these people who are stuck in their homes. The book ended up a bit creepy and maybe a little too yucky, but I ended up really getting into the novel. I couldn't stop listening to it. One review I saw about the book explained why a lot of people connected to it right when it came out in 2020 was because it is all about people isolated in their homes while these critters are trying to kill them.
I would recommend it if you want a weird thriller type of book that feels like a documentary film.
The Zombie Survival Guide
By Max Brooks
My hubby and I started this book a few years ago and put it down because it's structured like a textbook about zombies and how to fight them. I read this entirely on the stationary bike and it took me forever to finish, even though it's not that long of a book.
The book is so in-depth and well done, but unless you are super into zombies (or have a kid that wants to do a research paper like project about zombies) I'd take a pass on this one.
