Also this book is terrifying and gross. Once the massacring starts, it gets graphic and quite massacre-y. A+
The narrative's delivery (via journal entries and interviews and articles and book quotations) adds greatly to the suspense and overall enjoyment.
Also enjoyed the commentary vis a vis technology and nature and our society.
