To bylo tak nádherně nechutné, napínavé a krvavé, že si to míň než pět hvězdiček nezaslouží!!! :)

Страхотна книга изпълнена с напрежение от начало до край. Изключително непредвидима и със сигурност ме изненада с оригиналността си. Определено не е като всяка друга книга за вампири. Кара те да нямаш търпение за следващите части.

Great concept.... Still bugged by how the whole population become vampires though... Evolution?
Fast-moving, good ideas and characters, can picture it quite clearly as a film.

je lui donne seulement deux étoiles parce qu’il m’a permit de survivre durant quelques matins et après-midi au boulot
à un ennui mortel. le plot en lui-même aurait pu être intéressant, mais aucun personnage n’est vraiment à garder et je souhaite donner à l’auteur (ou à la traduction) la palme des pires comparaisons ou métaphores, j’ai cru que ça devenait une blague à un moment.

Wow! That was intense, original, peculiar and offbeat, creepy, but still great book! Perfect for those, who wants something new and fresh in dystopia and vampire genres. Highly recommended!

I really wanted to love this book... but it was boring as fuck.
There was so much over detailing that I just skimmed the last hundred pages and it reminded me of
"The Hunger Games" was this a fan fiction of THG beforehand like Fifty Shades? because this was very similar and if you read this and can't see that, there must be something terribly wrong with your way of reading. So I won't be picking up the second book and if you want to read it, go on ahead. I'd recommend The Hunger Games over this.
Also... why do I feel like this will end up on that Goodreads Bullies site? if you are reading this and you are from that site, go fuck yourself. :DDDDDD

I am honestly not sure how to rate this book.
It definately did not turn out they way I expected. I expected much and got way less.
It was kind of interesting, otherwise I would have never finished. But still I waited until the last 20 pages to get the action I was hoping for.
Somehow I wish the whole story was written from the girl's point of view as well as right from the beginning. Sounded much more fun :-D
In my opinion the story is only a little similar to THG. So if you are a big fan of THG don't expect too much if you go for this book.
The cliff hanger or let's better say the one which was supposed to be one, is pretty lame. I am not sure if I will stop right here or if I'll read the sequel. We'll see.
However, the last 20 pages made up a lot and in combination with the fairly interesting storyline I'll go for solid 3 stars.

This book was better than I expected. I mean, I expected high of it already based off of the summary even though I'd never read this author before, but I didn't expect it to be THAT good. While reading the Hunt, I was sucked into Gene's world. I felt like I lived in a world where I constantly feared the discovery of being a non-vampire. That's the thing that I found so interesting and intriguing about this book. It's so the opposite of what's seen in movies and made in books today. I mean, usually it's the vampire trying to hide his true identity from humans, but in here it was completely different. A human was trying to hide his human identity from vampires. I found that idea frightening and exciting at the same time. Another thing I found "out of the ordinary" of what's most commonly written about and watched today is that vampires weren't romaticized in this. Not at all. Yes, some were still depicted as having a cold beauty thing going on but that was just one side. The other side of the creatures were animalistic, barbaric, and terrifying.
I really felt sorry for Gene and Ashley June. (Spoiler): What was later found out, which was a complete shock to me, Ashley June is human too!!! My jaw literally dropped when I found that out. I should've figured it out or at least suspected it, but I didn't. All this time, because it was from Gene's point of view only, I never thought Ashley June was human. Whenever the vampires smelled "heper" in the building and Gene thought it was him, I always thought it was JUST him (End of Spoiler). And that's another thing. The whole "heper" thing, that really irked me because it sounded dangerously close to the word "heifer", as in a cow. But then again, that's probably what Andrew Fukuda was going for with the whole futuristic term for humans. Becuase that's what humans were considered in the book to all the vampires. Food, meat, cows, and whatever other names that can be used to stress how lowly humans are in the book.
I didn't like how Gene lied to the other humans living in the Dome.
I was always on edge while reading the Hunt becuase there were many times when Gene came dangerously close to being discovered by the vampires. I also felt bad for Gene most of the book. I hated that he always thought lowly of himself because he wished that he was truly a vampire and that he didn't have to keep faking it. (Spoiler): I remember a part at the beginning of the book when he'd just threw up in the school swimming pool and made a hasty exit from the locker room after some vampires came into the locker room and said something like, "As I walked past them I see a look of disgust on their faces. I'm use to that look. It's there on my face whenever I look in the mirror at home"(End of Spoiler). He felt like a fake person and at the same time despised himself for pretending to be a vampire, the things he hated as much as the thing he wanted to be to feel "normal". It's sad that to be a vampire in the futuristic world Fukuda made was considered the norm because there were only just that: vampires. And no other humans around, or so Gene thought at the beginning of the book.
The ending, though there were some new revelations and surprises, was sad. I guess that's to be expected for the cliff-hanger of this book. Not everyone could be saved or helped all in one book. Then the book would've had to be as long as books in the Harry Potter series or even Lord of the Rings. Anyway, I was devestated at the hard choice that Gene had to make in order to keep living and save the others towards the end of the book.
Overall, I liked the fast-paced plot of the story, the surprises, and the action packed/falling action scenes that came after the climax because even that was exciting. Andrew Fukuda has definitely accquired a new fan here.
