After reading this, I guarantee you won't be stepping into an elevator for a while. Linwood Barclay has crafted a suitably terrifying novel. With elevators that won't stop rising until they reach the top before they plummet to the bottom, and a city that is quick to make accusations, anything could happen. Once is a chance, twice is a coincidence, but three times is a pattern. - Rhyannion (QBD)

This book brings back so many nostalgic feelings of calustrophobia and anxiety at it's finest. Back when Keanu Reeves starred in the movie 'Speed' I had never felt the terror of having to catch an elevator since... until this book.
I felt like I was reading an M.Night shyamalan movie and it scared me on so many levels ;) - Jessica (QBD)
