Despite calling just about everything that escalated out of the COVID-19 pandemic years prior, Severance disappointingly has nothing to say. And yes, I see your raised hands, but no, this book has nothing to do with the hit Apple show of the same name. The book was rather disappointing and filled with a a whole lot of filler flashback that did not really add any depth to the characters you couldn't piece already. It could just be because I recently rewatched it, but while reading this version of a strange infectious virus (from China), I thought of the Canadian indie horror, Pontypool. There was a resemblance with how the infected acted, and how our protagonists are mostly placed in a single location. But don’t confuse that comparison with quality or horror, as the worst Severance gets, is a casual observation of a woman missing a jaw.
