The Enemy by Charlie Higson

   The book I'm doing my blog is on The Enemy by Charlie Higson. If you are into zombies or awesome battles with hordes you should definitely read The Enemy.

   The plot of the book is that something happened 16 years ago that infected  everyone. It took 16 years for the infection to totally take over the human body. When it did take over it turned people who were alive during the incident into a zombie or  a "grown up". So a group of kids under 16 have to survive zombies and other kids like bandits. The main characters are Arron, the leader, Maxie, second in command, Achilles, the big fighter, and Freak, the angry kid.

   I really enjoyed this book because I'm a big fan of anything zombie and I love books that have a lot of action. This book is full of suspense and somethings are just downright creepy. Like at one point in the book a character is kidnapped by cannibals and are fatten up to be eaten. That part really kinda gave me the creeps, but other than that it's more horror and awesomely described fight scenes. Another thing I really enjoyed about this book is that Charlie Higson describes everything very well. Like when he describes what the zombies look, smell, or sound like. Such as there is one point in the book where someone in the book stumbles into where a group of zombies are sleeping. Higson did such a great job of describing everything I felt like I could smell the zombies nasty rotten flesh, hear the zombies claws scraping the floor, and I could see the zombie eating the deer carcass. I highly recommend this book to any big zombie fan or just a fan of horror books. If I had to rate this book on a scale of one to ten I would pick a 9.5 because I think Higson could have described some of the characters a little better but other than that minor flaw it was a fantastic book.
