Cold storage was a classic thriller. Fun. Hilarious. Tense. Sometimes terrifying and gruesome, but genuinely entertaining. The style of writing with the omnipotent narrator at times worked, like when it was the POV of the fungus, but other times, it was giving unnecessary background information. 

For me, the only major issue I had was the pacing. The book would be really tense, and then it would fall off. Rinse and repeat. It didn't have any kind of consistency. It didn't slowly build and then slowly fall. It was like a cliff. It kind of messed with the heart-stopping feeling, the worry you're feeling.
