The Enemy

Hey peoples. Today I am doing a blog on a book I got called The Enemy. Here it goes.

The Enemy is a book by Charlie Higson. It Is set in modern day London. A year and a half ago a terrible disease swept the world infecting everybody above 16. Adults died by the thousands with ugly boils covering their skin and rotting flesh. Eventually society is broken in London and with no grown ups left they start to kill.

The grown ups now have no minds except the will to eat. They are not dead, but simply the disease has destroyed their minds leaving them in a zombie like state with boils, rotted flesh, and grey colored skin. Now across London bands of kids have stuck together wielding sledgehammers, axed, and kitchen knives. Defending themselves against hungry hordes of adults and occasionally warring against other kids. In Waitrose, a grocery store fitted into a rough fortress, things are starting to break down. A kid dies every day and hope is low, until soon a strange kid from the outside arrives bringing news of safety at Buckingham palace in the center of London. Is it trap? Can they even make it there?

I give is book a five out of five star rating. I liked it so much that I brung it to school every day to continue reading. One of the things I learned about writing a horror book like this is that every choice is a bad one and every twist leads down a darker road. It is soaked filled with suspense and I could barely put it down. Read The Enemy by Charlie Higson and it's prequel I have not yet read The Dead soon.

Bye peoples!
