After reading Cormac McCarthys "all the pretty horses" I wanted to read something easy. And "Rabid filled the slot nicely. It was short to the point and gave my brain a chance to recharge.
The story itself was... well as you'd expect. A bunch of crazy's chasing the main characters. The conversation at point was a little unbelievable. If I was being chased by a hundred or so crazy people who wanted to rip me apart I wouldn't be having a laugh and a joke!!! It also ended very quickly, I wont spoil...more

This novel was fast paced and easy to read. Not your conventional 'zombie' novel, yet it was enjoyable and a quick read.
The characters were likeable and relateable, whitty and smart, which was important due to the shortness of the novel.
Although it was short, it was also blunt and a little predicatable, the ending was easily predicted from less than halfway through the novel, eliminating the suspense element, rendering it just an interesting story, with no real story-line or plot.

Goes for the jugular and takes a bite!!
Gripping stomp through the land of the infected. When survival is the only goal you don't have time to wait for pizza delivery!
What does that mean? I was hungry while reading the story but I skipped eating because my appetite to finish the story was more important. Fortunately it was a great fast read. If it had been a novel length I might have starved before I stopped reading.

What plays out as a somewhat decent and typical post apocalyptic zombie thriller loses its steam at the end. This is a fast alright take on the end of the world that is lessened by its weak and forced ending. If not for that, I would have rated a bit higher... Just ok.

Rabid is a fast moving novella with the feel of "28 Days Later." In my opinion this is J. W.'s best work to date.
It started off well but tailed off towards the, disappointing end. It is a very short read and very American
very anti climatic. kept waiting for something to happen, and it never did.
