INFECTED, by Scott Sigler, was certainly a different style of book. It was 339 page book that felt like a 100 page book. I did not expect it to turn out the way it did. In the beginning, I thought it was going to be like a zombie/virus book. You know the kind, right? I was so totally wrong.
The theme was very hidden but I think it was this, do not wait to get help if you know something is wrong. I mean, sure, the disease made you insane but you know, get help.
This book was at times very sad and heart-wrenching. Then there were the other times, the ones that made the book what it is. The gory and gag-inducing ones. There were many in there that made you wonder about the mental stability of the other. I did enjoy this book, despite the gory scenes. In fact, I think they made me love this book even more.
The plot goes a little something like this. There is a disease in America that is making people insane, paranoid, and murderous, often killing their friends and families. Only, it's not a disease in the normal sense. Originally, they thought it was Morgellons disease, a hallucinatory disease that not many doctors thought was real, on account of it being a hallucinatory disease. Most of it was in people's head, but not all the cases. The next thing they discovered was that it was really a parasite that invaded your brain and controlled you. They thought someone had made it, then they thought it was natural. It was a vicious cycle, going back and forth between the theories and not really having any idea about it. They needed a live victim. All their other subjects were already dead by the time the doctors got hold of them. There are multiple views, switching from Perry Dawsey, the infected person, Margaret Montoya, and Dew Phillips. They finally got one with Perry Dawsey, who had no idea what was happening to him, while going slowly insane.
This book was a five out of five because it kept me interested all the way through. It was well-written and a completely different book, with a mix of different genres all the way through. I loved it and I am looking forward to reading the second one.
