While the writing of Elevation is well done, the characters and plot is not that great. I left the novella wondering what was the point. I am left thinking that the only point is to paint conservatives in a less than favorable light. However, even so that is not the message that I would take away. Although, I have little interest in breaking down this novel into an English essay.

The characters were cookie cutter people who made me less than sympathetic. The spectacular elements of the story left me wondering how it connected at all. I cannot find a reason for it in the actual plot.

On the positive side it is short and is not horror in the slightest.
