After really thinking about it, I just couldn't push this review up to a four. <br/> <br/>I found myself drawn in with the Perry chapters, and those that were done in the infection's point of view. Perry's chapters asked a question of me, "When does one stop being a victim and start becoming a villain?" Though I knew what was going on with Perry, I knew that it wasn't his fault, I really began to hate him near the end. I didn't feel as much anger towards him as Dew, but I could no longer think of him as the victim, the poor guy who got pulled into this. He was just a bad guy. <br/> <br/>I hated Margaret with a passion. Her attitude was a major turn-off for me. She was either a doormat for whoever wanted to walk over her, or she was putting out fake wrath against people that she's so far beneath that she might as well be underground. She was just not likable at all. <br/> <br/>I had my moments with Dew where I hated him and moments where I loved him. Overall, though, I just felt sorry for him. He's been through a lot, and here's some more. Though, I do love his political incorrectness. I love the fact that there was no censoring of his thoughts and everything was just there, whether it was offensive or not. <br/> <br/>Overall, it was a pretty good story. Absolutely LOVED the ending. It was intense and exciting and I was on the edge of my seat as I flipped the pages. I'm interested in seeing if there will be a follow-up from Mr. Sigler, and if so, I'll be picking that one up, too. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/950738?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
