The girl with all the gifts

[Thatballwasin]

Wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this as I'm not really into horror/general apocalyptically books although I do like watching the Walking Dead.

The book is amazing. I thought I'd got it conpletely sussed close to the end but even then it managed to surprise me. Really recommend. Don't read if you're feeling a bit down though.

Oh, is it out now?! I was reading a review of it, thinking, that sounds exactly like that short story I read last year, how odd. Turns out it is an expanded version of that, though the author has changed the, er, [avoids spoilers] ...situation a bit. Hope he's changed the ending too...

But, yeah, I'm looking forward to reading it, the short story really stayed with me.

I'd never heard of the author before but I read a very good review in the Guardian and was intrigued. Kindle version was a bit hard to find at first www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00B27ECPY. I fancy Zone One now but will wait until I've pepped up with some chick lit first!

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00B27ECPY that will teach me to preview first!

I'm watching it on Kindle, hoping the price might drop a bit.

I saw a review of this and really fancy it. Thanks for reminding me!

This was recommended to me and I just haven't put it down yet! Am half way through but it is a wonderful page turner.

Haven't read anything like this in ages. Scares me at times (oh the nightmares I've had!) but am not quitting.

How long before its a movie/series?

Bought this, after reading this thread, and was riverted. Read it in just a few days in every spare moment I had.

Not read much post-apocalyptic fiction, but found this engrossing with some interesting characters. I found the ending sad but strangely hopeful.

Had a quick flick in Waterstones and it appeared to be all in the present tense. If it is, I don't think I'll be able to read it without screaming. Is it?

I am listening to this on audible. I didn't think I'd like it being read to me, but it's very good.

I thought it was great. I didn't expect the ending either.

I had a problem with the ending specifically around future lifecycle/breeding that I didn't feel was addressed properly.

It was a good read up until then though.

I read this within the space of a few hours. Found it a fascinating read.

Remus It is actually written in the present tense but, in all honesty, the book is so well written that I hadn't even noticed! (I've just had to flick through to make sure.) Please don't let that put you off - the story is well worth reading. This is a pretty hefty tome but the words just seem to pour off the pages.

Just finished it, agree with kitty. That was weird and not very satisfying, but the rest was alright. Not as good as Justin Cronin but a nice read.
