The Dead

I recently finished reading The Dead by Charlie Higson. The sequel to The Enemy, this takes place in London a month after the disease started. It follows a group of boys at their school, eventually heading into London. They meet new people and learn new things about the disease, giving us, the reader, a lot more information, making everything a lot clearer.
I found this book a lot better than the first one. I liked that we learn a bit about how the disease works, and there are things that connect with the first book.
The first book was enjoyable, but this book really drew me into the series. I think that this will be a new favorite.

My Rating:
★★★★★

The Enemy

Brief Summary: The Enemy is a book set in future London where all people over the age of 16 have turned into zombie-like creatures that have a craving for the children. It follows a group of kids and their struggle to find safety.

Quick Review: I have said this before, I think, but the first thing that comes to mind with this is that I like it but at times it sounds forced. Like they had to write this and didn't enjoy it. I don't know why but sometimes this just really bothers me, maybe because I know the feeling. Overall, though, I enjoyed it!
