Well, that was horrible.
A surprising amount of sex was squeezed into a plot about giant mutant rats eating people alive, but that’s classic horror for you. Loved the sort of short stories weaved into the overarching plot.

The first time you meet the main character, The Hero, the knight in shining armour of this novel he remarks on the bouncing br**sts of two of his 14 year old students đź‘€

Yeah there’s nasty, infectious rats but I genuinely preferred them to the main character, the view on women is just appalling and I can’t stand when people say it was different then. Okay doesn’t mean it didn’t make you an a**hole. 

1 star solely for the cool mutant rat at the end.

This book will make you fear rats. Love the gruesome events in this book and a perfect ending to carry onto The Lair.
