clarke's review against another edition

slow-paced

1.0

Hard to believe this was written by the same author as The Troop. This was so boring. No sense of dread. The killer dementia plague just vanished when that was probably more of a terrifying concept than being underwater and hearing things. Did I mention they’re underwater? Because they’re underwater. It also really wasn't shy with its references - literally quoting them sometimes. The ending may as well have been that it was all a dream, would've made more sense.

esharemet's review

The description of gore and body horror got to be too much for me, especially in audiobook format.

This book actually made me gag. I’ve never read anything quite as graphically unnerving. I almost didn’t finish because of the physical reaction I had to the book. I honestly am still confused about the ending. I had a hard time rating this book, since I was confused for a lot of it. I gave it a 4 due to the physical reactions I had and how genuinely scared I felt for a while after reading
