review 1: I feel like I had to wait literally forever for this book to come out. Like, I was basically halfway through college before this book was in my hands thanks to Amazon. I was a little disappointed in the US cover design, but that doesn’t fault what’s inside the book. We return to the world of the Haters and the Unchanged. Our main character, Danny, is still struggling with his Hate. But this world is darker. They’re living in a post-nuclear explosion wasteland. Danny still wants to find his daughter, but things are looking bleak. The Hate holds him from his humanity, which he is desperately leaning towards.This book made me realize I hate David Moody in the best possible way. I hate how good of a writer he is. I hate that he sucks me in with every page and I sit there... more, begging for something good to happen to this character I’ve grown so attached to. When I finished the book (in less than two days, I might add), I screamed NO so loudly that I scared one of my campers! David Moody is a heartbreaker in the best sense of the word. I have never felt cheated by him during this whole series. Honestly, if you’re interested even remotely in the world of Hater, you need to finish the series. This book is the perfect end to the series. Yes, there are some loose ends, but they’re acceptable—they are realistic. That’s one thing I love about David Moody—he is a realist, through and through. His characters face hell—and they do so in the way that an actual human being would. If you’re tired of zombies, read this series. I’m telling you—it’ll grip you and give you a good shake.
review 2: SPOILER ALERT - read the first two books before this one, or this review!I think I'm in the minority here as I didn't enjoy this book much. 'Dog Blood' and 'Them or Us' simply aren't as original and interesting as 'Hater' in my opinion. By this point in the story almost all of the Unchanged are dead, so the interesting plot device of The Hate is more or less irrelevant for most of the book. The story then becomes a fairly average apocalyptic fiction tale with a group of survivors living in a sort of feudal system, scavenging for supplies from the dead world.This isn't a terrible thing in itself, but nothing particularly interesting happens and the book is a bit long really. I also personally don't like the way that everything is written in the first person present tense. That's just my opinion, but it doesn't sound right to me.Not bad, and certainly worth reading in order to finish the trilogy, but nowhere near as good as some of the classic apocalyptic fiction like 'Day of the Triffids' and 'The Death of Grass' etc. less
