Darwinský výtah

Another book that reminds you not to go by the back cover synopsis (in this case Goodreads synopsis) and use the rating system to add to your “to read” shelf. Having said that, Jason must be congratulated in creating a world which is different from our run of the mill zombie plague stories. The Elevator is a nice and unique concept and well thought out in itself. The aliens are also well managed. What lets the book down is the rather simplistic story telling and characterization. Non of the protagonists stand out (well maybe Russel) and interactions between the key players is pretty mundane and lacking tension. In fact lacking tension is probably the books biggest letdown. The important thing though is that you can make up for these with the next book in the franchise is the key ingredient is already in the mix. Hope Jason delivers.
