Charlie Higson\u2019s brutal, blood-soaked book The Enemy shows how life would be without adults telling kids what to do. It\u2019s a brilliant concept, but not one to suit readers who don\u2019t like gore! Higson\u2019s thrilling writing leaves the reader in suspense and begging for more; his irresistible pages are so overwhelming that you will find it hard to put down the book.<\/p>\n
The novel\u2019s plot is certainly one of its strong points. A terrible disease strikes everyone over the age of fourteen and causes them to either die or turn into hideous and hairless zombies, while the rest struggle to fight them off and find salvation. There is one particular group of kids called \u2018the Waitrose crew\u2019, who conveniently live in an abandoned Waitrose supermarket, that are mentioned throughout the book. They join forces with another group of kids called \u2018the Morrison crew\u2019 who also conveniently live in a Morrison shop. They all travel with a boy named Jester who surprisingly knows a place where it is \u2018safe\u2019. As they leave their safe houses to seek salvation, unforeseeable tragedies occur.<\/p>\n
Throughout the novel a number of events occur simultaneously, and readers will be left wondering whether Higson will be able to tie up all the loose ends. While some parts of the story are concluded as the novel draws to a close, Higson leaves certain things hanging, a tactic that will almost certainly encourage you to soak up the sequel.<\/p>\n
Overall The Enemy is a gripping read. I\u2019d recommend this book to those who love gore, romance and violence woven together into an awesome adventure.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
