Plague Land by Alex Scarrow
2.0
Two words sum up my feelings for this book: Shock. Value.
And that’s really about it.
All of the characters felt one-dimensional and based in some kind of over-the-top stereotype. Even with some of the tragic events that occurred for some of them, I just didn’t feel really emotion for or towards them. Kinda made it difficult to keep reading since I felt there was not going to be any real character development.
Besides that, the “science” behind the plague was something else entirely. At times, I was willing to believe it, and then in other times it just became too ridiculous to try. Especially towards the end...
The twists and turns? Something straight out of a B-Rated Sci-Fi Horror film. Take that as you will.
Overall, it’s a one-time read for me.
