Brooks takes a page from the Michael Crichton book of half-truths to make a story unbelievably believable. Mount Rainier hasn’t had a significant eruption in five hundred years, but you’ll question that. RELATED: ‘Resident Evil Village’ Looks Awesome (And Terrifying)
Brooks’ ability to draw you in to the emotion and action is far more important than having an authentic-sounding journal written in haste by a frightened women among a small group of neighbors in the shadow of Mount Rainier in Washington state. The cinematic descriptions of the action sometimes feels a little too flowery and professional, considering everything we know of the events in Devolution, are taken from the journal of one Kate Holland. When Devolution is adapted, and it will be, producers will be left with the choice of converting it into a found footage horror film (they won’t do that it’s a gimmick that’s played out), or filming it as it should be: A raw, unhinged, bloodbath of a war between humans and the elusive crypto North American apes we call Bigfoot. In presenting Devolution, a violent thriller Sasquatch attack, in a similar fashion, he’s doubled down on what makes his stories so real for the reader (or, audiobook listener). The movie adaptation of World War Z ignored and disrespected what made his first novel great. Max Brooks is a genius for dancing with the date he brought to the party. The follow up to the his critically acclaimed World War Z novel is presented in the familiar documentary style of collected interviews and a found journal. Released simultaneously with the hard back print version, Devolution is ready to be devoured by fans. The long-awaited second novel by Max Brooks has arrived.
