Infected by Scott Sigler had a good premise but then it failed in the end. Basicaly some people where infected with something that make them paranoin. As the novels enfold we get to see the mind of this infected and how they react to it. We get to see how the authorities also work against them. They soon discover that this things that infected the hosts are alien beings that are trying to hope a portal to their world. Our main character is paranoid but also fights against them. We get to see some bloody, gory parts as he rips off his skin of that things. This part was quite good. In the end I felt a bit ot cheated and I didn't enjoy the end. 6/10

If you are at all squeamish then this book is definitely not for you. The main character is someone that you can relate to and like. As the book unfolds he becomes insane because of the infection by these strange triangles. What follows is a gore fest that becomes increasingly worse. By the end it was pretty hard to keep reading. Overall, I enjoyed the premise of the book, but not the amount of gore.

This book was amazing. Scott Sigler is a truly twisted individual and I think this may be one of the most graphic/gore filled novels that I have ever read. Very cool story though and rather eerie how parts of it can relate to real life.
It was compelling and the premise was interesting. It was gorier than I like and a little crude, but I'll still read the second in the series to see where it's going.
