Before I get into a big review on this book, I will honestly state that I'm easily comparing this to the Rot and Ruin series, which was the first and only other zombie apocalypse story I've read. I should also state that R and R is probably my favorite young adult series out there right now. Because...
I haven't read a lot of zombie books, but I find this one interesting. Charlie Higson used the unique concept of kids being survivors and the grown-ups as contractors of the disease. Nobody knew where and how it started. But one thing is for sure - they need to survive. And to survive, they needed e...
This novel holds nothing back, and I should warn you not to get too attached to anyone. You will be surprised at how quick Higson is to rip characters from the pages of this book and it's best just to accept their fate and move along. Read the rest of this review at Notes in the Margin.
This was a fairly good read. But I won't read on with this series. It was gripping and creepy and interesting. But it was about kids. And teenagers. Well done, well portrayed. But not my thing.
Book 1: The Enemy 4 stars. Fast paced. Fun. Gory, and truly sickening in places. Great characters, with realistic reactions to the disintegration of the world around them. Book 2: The Dead 4 stars. Book 3: The Fear 2 stars. So why have I rated this book 2 stars, and the preceding two, b...
This book made me think of Gone, but then everywhere, and also with zombies!So I had to wait about 8 months before my library, bought and got this book. So I was really really excited about this book. And wow, what a ride it was.We are now in a world where everyone over 14 got sick. They either died...
I loved this book. It was just the sort of book I could imagine reading when I was younger in the dead of the night. But even as an adult I enjoyed reading it. I always say that children's TV today is so rubbish, kids born in the 90s easily had the best TV shows growing up but I don't remember any a...
5 Stars.An undiagnosed disease has wiped out (almost) everyone over the age of 14 leaving London's children to fend for themselves. Higson bases his story on the exploits of a group living in the remains of the Waitrose store in Holloway, a year on from the initial catastrophe. But this is no perman...
The original review can be found on my blog:*Note: this is a review about the book and the audio-book experience*I've never listened to a book before, but I figured a 12 hour drive would be the perfect time to give it a try. So I went over to audible.com saw that they were doing a promotion of 7.49 ...
