Book club choice. I wanted to like it more than I did (or thought I should).  I was never bored, it was interesting, but it didn't move me as it has many reviewers.

Brooks' WWZ was one of the best audiobook book experiences I've ever encountered, and Devolution follows in those footsteps (ha!).  Extremely enjoyable, and (I know how ridiculous this sounds) just like WWZ it is easy to forget this is fiction.  Or maybe I'm just an impressionable idiot.  Either way, really enjoyed this one.
