I really enjoyed this book, Max Brooks is really good at building a sense of dread, I highly recommend the audiobook as Judy Greer does a great job at voicing the neurotic main character Kate Holland.

This has been a change from the books I have been reading. It starts off slower, but still interesting, and then stays that way, getting more intense as the story goes on... and then it STAYS intense and on track. It held my attention the entire time, and didn't lose me at the end. I loved the ending, as well. I would happily read a second novel/novella about Kate and her possible fate. So glad I picked this up.
