A review by beledit
Hater, by David Moody
5.0
When I was 95% through reading this, I got out of bed late at night to download the next book in the series so I could start it immediately. It's a total pageturner, which I read in a day.
The main character is thoroughly unlikeable, but I'm not sure if that's part of the story or just a personal dislike. However, the story is intriguing. I read a lot of zombie novels, but these are not zombies. Over a period of just days, ordinary people are transformed into raging, incredibly violent murderers who attack anyone close to them. Those attacked, however, are not "infected" (actually, they usually die because the attack is so violent). Gradually the whole population is separated into "them and us". Families are torn apart, and we witness the usual post-apocalyptic mayhem.
I'm now well into book two, Dogs Blood.
