Plague

First let me say that these books ARE NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! They can be a bit disturbing...okay now that that is out of the way...In this installment of Michael Grants Gone series the kids in the FAYZ are still battling to survive. How can you not be happy to be alive in the FAYZ for one more day? Well, maybe. A plague that resembles the flu is on the rampage! Kids who get it literally cough themselves to death, and if not having the entire town on quarentine for the flu, they are battling bugs as big as horses...and they don't run away when you try to kill them...they fight back. And they fight with a vengenace...killing whoever or whatever gets in the way.

Sam and Astrid are over. Sam has left town with a few of his friends to find water, and not only do they find water, but they find food, computers, missiles and much more! With Sam away what will happen in the FAYZ? Astrid battles with the knowledge of Little Petey's power...to kill him or not to kill him that is her question. Will Diana and Caine stay hidden away on the island forever, or will Caine finally decide that he's ready to head back? Diana may be harboring a secret...someone with a power level of a two...but what will happen when Caine finds out...or will he find out?

I really don't know how these kids can keep wanting to survive day after day, but survive they do! With all the things that get thrown at them you'd think they would want to POOF out, but they stay and try their hardest to survive. Grant creates a world where I wouldn't want to be...and yet...there is something so deeply disturbing and intriguing about it you can't help but be curious! Sam, Astrid, Albert, Orc, Howard, Diana, Caine, and the rest of the kids in the FAYZ are beyond strong, I am more in awe of them with each book!

Like I said this book has parts that can be deeply disturbing...I would recommend this book NOT be read by children under the age of 16. There are so many questions to be answered that I can't hardly stand to wait for the next one to be released...but wait I am going to have to do!


I gave this book 4 apples!
