The one thing that bugs me, not just in this series but in other media too, is when the main characters refuse to kill the antagonist. Like, Drake has killed people before and will surely kill again and is the Big Bad, but it's seen morally wrong to just kill him? I understand that these are mostly teenagers, but after being in the FAYZ for almost a year, they have grown a lot and have dealt with worse situations. Just my own personal note.
Well, I didn't see that coming. Grant manages to keep it fresh and interesting, the story keeps coming fast and furious, perfect to keep YA attention, and not waste any of my time with too much flowery descriptions :-) Great series.
I liked this one a lot more than the last two - Hunger and Lies - but I'm not sure if it can really beat the first book - Gone. My respect for Michael Grant is growing as he's writing absolutely genius things.

Gritty and gruesome, Plague is definitely not a book for the weak-stomached. The disturbingly graphic dystopian horror is fast-paced and action-packed, lending the book a creepily realistic feeling. Several new characters are introduced while old and familiar characters change in shockingly unexpected ways. As the situation in the FAYZ grows more and more desperate, people are confronted with a slipping grasp on hope, the desire for power, and the search for humanity.
This is quickly becoming one on my favorite series of all time.
4 of 6 down, and much like the Animorphs (written by Michael Grant’s wife - how cool!) I cannot BELIEVE these were marketed as children’s books. So wildly graphic and gorey and gruesome, how the fuck did I read this in 7th grade?! But it’s such an interesting story that it’s hard to put down and I’m enjoying re-reading as a grown up with a stronger stomach for violence, lmao.
