gabbyreadswithtea 's review for:
The Hunt
by Andrew Fukuda
*There May Be spoilers in this review, but big ones will be marked. And don't go into the spoiler box at the end...I can guarantee there will be spoilers (And also half of my review.)*
Favorite Character: Gene
Actual Rating: 4.5
Well, I have to start by saying why does Australia have a different cover from the rest of the world? Not that I mind, personally, i like this cover better, because, you know, you see that hot guy staring at you right now? Yeah, he is the reason I bought this book. RAWR, that is a good looking dude right there, can someone tell me who the model is? Because, well, WOW, is all I can say at the moment ;)
The cover for the second book looks cool too.

Now, the characters, well, i must say it's a little hard to choose a favotite characters when they don't really have names. You'll be like Hey, A3, F5, 62 etc. if I was trying to follow Gene around (You'll understand if you read the book...) And the fact that there wasn't much description of people (But, don't worry, my imagination fixed that up (Or Easy A reference; My imagination kinda "Shot that horse in the face")
...
...
So yeah, i really loved this book. It took me forever to read it, but it was still really great. And if you haven't already noticed, towards the end my status updates start to go out of control, i think they space about 3% apart, because i had to pace myself, so i didn't rush to the end to see what happens. So much suspense, i needed to know!
Aaaand, now onto the spoiler bit :)
...
Okay, okay, I just had to do that!!
And another love triangle for the love of god!!!!......Give me more!!! Damn, Gene, you take this never ending love triangle theme to the next level!! I want more!!! But, c'mon, seriously dude, You didn't even go back for Ashley, yes, I know, I know, you were under a lot of pressure.. Yes, you were being hunted by vampire/zombie things (Hey, did anyone notice the twilight reference in this book? lol) but you still left her. And yes, Gene, I will keep making you feel bad about this until I have the next book I my hands. *Passes me [b:The Prey|15802620|The Prey|Andrew Fukuda|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1352117332s/15802620.jpg|20386810], with a snarl* Not even then...
A couple of notes that are spoilers that I just have to mention:
I was like, how can no one have an name but Ashley does? And then when you found out why Gene gave that to her...Stalker, much ;)
for those of you who missed the ever-lasting spoiler part, I have a few things to ask.
1) Did anyone else notice the twilight/modern vampire reference in this book? (And if you haven't read the book, there are no spoilers, so read it anyway) I'll put it in here for your enjoyment:
"After all, if the roles were reversed and it was people who became extinct, people's theories would likely be rife with exaggerations and distortions; instead of sleeping in sleep-holds, they'd sleep in coffins; creatures of the night, they'd be so invisible to the eye that even in front of mirrors, they'd lack a reflection; pale and emaciated, they were weak and benign beings who could coexist peacefully alongside hepers, somehow restraining themselves from ripping hepers to ribbons and sucking down their blood; they'd all invariably be incredibly good-looking with perfect hair there'd be some outright confabulations as well: Their ability to swim with dizzying speed under water; and ludicrous and laughable notions about people-heper romances
-Page 88, Australian Edition, Gene, The Hunt, Andrew Fukuda
That was a good and inconspicuous way to put it, Andrew ;)
And 2nd, What are these creatures? Vampires (The quote above makes it sound like our equivalent to our modern vampires) or zombies (read the book, and you'll know why I think that) or a mixture of both?
I'm gonna stop now, I think I've written my fair share for today :)Might add more later I'll try not to, for your sake ;)
