The Troop by Nick Cutter
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.0
It took me over 200 pages to get invested in the story or really care about any of the characters; I did like a lot of the rest of the book and a lot of the descriptions of the infection or what it does to people are genuinely disturbing, and I also appreciate a lot of the little testimonies and emails and article snippets, but the last two chapters also could've been taken out and I wouldn't have minded and those first 200 or so pages were just a pain to get through.
