After reading this book I was wondering if I wanted to read the next one. The answer ... NO!. The premise behind the book was very good however I just could not get excited about it. Perhaps the book is aimed towards teens since all the of the main characters were that age. The REDS reminded me of 28 Days Later with the red eyes and the rage they felt. Ben reminded me of Bub in Day of the Dead, you have an 8 year old kleptomaniac, a wanna be country singer who is a pacifist and anti-social who tries out her music on an infected, a military type kid who wants everything back to normal and then all the infected with inner ear problems. I'm sorry but jumping on a table so they won't attack you is a bit much. Like those cartoons where the women avoid mice. Do I care if they get eaten? No. Do I care if they find an antidote? No. I'm sorry but the book was pretty much boring and aiming towards a romance more than attacks and surviving.
