Critique

The book strong in every sense is talking about the instinct of survival. And what better way to show that then have kids surviving on their own against unthinkable odds, yes most people die. Leaving only the hardened and the keen to maintain the newly adopted "humanity" left in the wake of a global apocalypse. Amounts of detail and knowledge that the author put artfully into the book is what makes it feel real, The references to the world we live in as is also helps the story. This book was an adventurous read. Action around every corner, and every small thing will either escalate quickly or wait till you least expect it. Though at times over the top the action in the book is usually more on the tame side, for a zombie book. The language is very adding to the story because the ramble of the kids and the different words used from London to Canada. The book will keep you at the edge of your seat, things that are brought up and left going on in the background will raise the tension to levels most books can't achieve. Though the book seems long at first by the time that the book is finished you will be talking about how the book was way to short. Taking up the rear of this continuing series the sacrifice is one of the best.

Book I am reading

I am reading the book The Sacrifice a novel by Charlie Higson. The story takes place at the end of his series The Enemy. The book is stationed eight days after the events in the previous book. The setup done by the first book is A disease that only affected people over the age of fourteen. After infection the Adults would either drop dead after a while or have a mental reshuffle. The ones who didn't die could barely think, they had basic instinctive drives, kill, eat, stay alive. Over the series you are with three main group of kids as they battle their way through the streets in a broken down London.
The series has a website where you can buy the books or watch trailers...  click here
