Book Reviews of Infected: A Novel
Book Review: "The Ouchie I can hold in my Hand" and other tales of the terrible
Summary: 5 Stars
"Something is in the air tonight" seems to fit quite nicely with Infected because, quite literally, there is something in the air and it is causing some a little thing called insanity. Just ask Dew: assigned to the "project" after his fair share of known and silent wars, he's been noticing his fair share of oddities. He's watched a man go insane and, well, take that to the extreme, has watched loss firsthand and has seen fit to blame himself, and - or course - he's seen the triangles. The triangles, a sort of mysterious growth that appears on people right before than lose their minds, with rapidly decomposing features that seem like biological war, terrorism, or something worse.
And, worse yet, these occurrences are becoming commonplace.
One thing about Infected that I can say with certainty is that it has an engrossing way of telling its tale. With only a minimal amount of effort it begins the long trek into describing the hosts, the incubation process that the hosts encounter, and the efforts that are being made to deal with them. Along with that are all the things that you would expect with this type of outbreak: the cover-up (or S.A.R.S. epidemic, if you ask the press), the maddening pace to try and find whatever is causing the triangles, the proverbial shots in the dark that are taken to try to unlock this strange biological puzzle, and the loss of people - both innocent and infected alike. The story is written in a way that is fast pace too, making it a read that one can zoom through. And the ending - let's just say the ending is a beast of beauty and leaves the gates open for something more terrifying the next go around.
If you are looking for a book with gore, some terrible deaths (quality is the name of this game, not quantity as in many situations) to plug in for ambience, and a weird world in which Triangles are terrifying then you should look no further than Infected. It had all the stuff that makes a horror book horrifying - namely the fact that it could occur in some alternate "here and now."
Recommended.
