The end is coming.

The sickness struck everyone sixteen and older. First it twisted their minds; next it ravaged their bodies. Now the sickos—crazed and hungry for young flesh—are gathered in the center of London, lying in wait.

It’s time for all of the survivors—kids spread out across the city—to unite. They must come up with a plan of attack to end the grown-ups’ reign of ...more

*Actually 3.5 stars*

*Minor spoilers throughout*

For the most part I did enjoy it, but there was so much left unexplained. One thing this book needed was an epilogue. Just a few pages set maybe a year or two in the future, describing how life is now after beating the sickos and how the characters are doing, and this book would easily have been pretty much perfect. I mean we've spent 7 books and near enough 3000 pages with these characters and getting to love and hate them, and then to just end it *Actually 3.5 stars*

Just a few pages set maybe a year or two in the future, describing how life is now after beating the sickos and how the characters are doing, and this book would easily have been pretty much perfect. I mean we've spent 7 books and near enough 3000 pages with these characters and getting to love and hate them, and then to just end it so suddenly about 10 pages after the battle ends was really quite unfair.

There was also some parts that just seemed entirely random and even unnecessary. For example one of the characters is outed as gay, but then after the chapter where it's revealed nothing else is said about. There was no development about the character's love life and on the whole it just kind of left you thinking "what was the point?"

To be honest as well - and I don't even know why I'm saying this as a lot of people died - I kind of wanted some major character deaths. I know that sounds silly but in a series with such a high mortality rate and a couple of deaths in earlier books that actually leave you thinking "did that just happen? :-O", The End just needed one of the more major players to get killed. Make me feel them feels that I haven't really felt since books 2 and 3. Obviously a couple of people do die but they aren't characters that have had a huge amount of POVs, so I wasn't personally as attached anyway.

My last major problem was honestly the lack of Ed. If you've read The Hunted then you obviously know where he's been, but he was involved in one of the most touching scenes in this entire series. I had a massive amount of love for Ed and he just didn't get the screen time in this book. He just storms in about 25 pages from the end of the book and saves the day. Also on that note, maybe even the lack of Malik. The Hunted spent a huge amount of time developing his character and giving him an epic back story and he's mentioned maybe 2 or 3 times and doesn't even get a line. The hell?!

HOWEVER, I did enjoy most of what we got and there were definitely parts I didn't see coming. For me personally, it just wasn't a perfect ending. Not that it matters as if you've read the first 6 books you aren't just gonna not read the last one :P ...more

It’s too abrupt a The Enemy series overall is absolutely 5 stars. I’m 27 and I’ve been as obsessed with this series as much as I have anything I’ve ever read! I love these books and Charlie Higson has done something amazing in building such a big cast of realistic and engaging characters with so many interweaving plots. This books finally brings it all back together for the final confrontation with St George and his army, but in the end (ha The End) I was left feeling like something was lacking. It’s too abrupt and I’m not completely satisfied given just how emotionally involved I’ve been with all these great characters.

I’m going to lay out some negative points but really this book is awesome, all these books are awesome, and you need to read them! (Whatever age you are!)

An epilogue is what this book really needs! As it is the story just ends very quickly following the final battle, and I mean quickly... like twenty pages later. I want to know what happens after! What do the kids do now the threat of St George is over? How to they put their society back together? Do they continue to work as one group or split off again? What about Just John’s squatters at the palace? Just a few pages, or even some notes on a year or five or ten years later. I’m invested in these kids!

I was also left wondering if that really was the end of the parasite/virus threat because this book just focused on London! Surely if it was airborne the rest of the world would be affected (if they weren’t why did nobody ever check on the situation)? The cynical part of me thinks Higson ended it the way he did so he wouldn’t have to tackle that issue!

The last third felt rushed but my main complaint is that there was barely any Ed! I know he pretty much got a whole book in The Hunted but he has been a key character and for me; the one I have the most invested in because he’s been part of the bigger emotional moments of the series. He turns up right at the very, very end to save the day and that’s all you get. Not to mention Malik/Scarface who was built up to be such a great character in the last book! He’s up there with Shadowman as being one of my favourites. He gets a line. This wasn’t enough! I care about these people. If you get to read all the books consecutively they you probably won’t feel that way, but I’ve had six months or so to wait for this.

I hated all the stuff with Paul and it just felt too unbelievable to have him really be able to communicate with the sickos. I can just about buy the Twisted Kids but the Paul stuff just didn’t make any logical sense to me. David infuriated me, as always, and I didn’t really understand why the heck Jester (and the others) stuck around with him when he’d clearly lost his mind! The way things end for David were also not satisfying; he was such a dick and made some dangerous and terrible selfish decisions that I felt he needed to really get what he deserved. The way things go felt like he got off too lightly and it wasn’t a big enough moment. I actually feel that there weren’t enough Big Moments (or main character deaths) for the finale of a series that has been so (Game of Thrones level) high stakes for six previous books.

All that said I didn’t put this book down and it felt amazing to be back in this world, with all these characters again. I was worried I’d forgotten what happened but it all came back to me almost immediately. These books are something special and I’m a bit sad it’s all over now.

This series about adults contracting a disease and becoming zombie-like monsters and leaving the children to try and survive started off brilliantly but I've felt it lagged towards the later books. Fortunately, this final book is brilliant.

Fortunately, this final book is brilliant.

Finally, all the plot lines and the children of London come together to fight the huge mass of sickos who have gathered in London. The sickos are after Small Sam, whose blood contains the cure to the disease. To take on the huge group, the children of London need to unite but that's easier said than done, especially when one of them is the nasty David.

This is like a best bit of the series. On the one hand we've got children fighting zombies, on a far bigger scale than we've seen before. Loads of children, loads of sickos, all in a massive fight in Hyde Park. And then there's the Lord of the Flies feel which is bigger and better than before. There's lots of minor arguments and we see just how far David will go in an attempt to be in charge.

There's also some really down to earth moments, sweetness amongst the carnage. There's a revelation about one character which was great because it completely goes against stereotypes. And it's regularly pointed out that everyone has their own self-worth- they aren't going to beat the sickos which just good fighters, they need clever people to help.

The series has been pretty confusing what with books running parallel to each other and the order being a bit random and with the entire cast appearing here it can be challenging at times to remember who's who. Higson does a good job at giving every one of his characters a story here, an impressive feat given the enormous cast. Quite a few people die here so there's certainly no happy ending for many characters.

An epic conclusion to the series which is as good as the early books. It sorts out many of the problems of the series, making the disease more realistic, tying together the character of Greg and St. George and explaining why some of the characters act in the ways they do. It's everything I wished for in the series finale and more. ...more

I can’t believe that I read the final to this amazing, oh so frightening series which I absolutely loved! It feels rather surreal to know that there won’t be any follow-up… or will there? Charlie Higson finishes’ his series rather openly. When you expect to find an answer to all your questions you are going to be (a bit) disappointed, but let’s start from the beginning without using spoilers.

The first half (or maybe a bit more than half) is rather slow paced and in my opinion a bit jumpy. It switches between characters and places a lot, but still manages to captivate it’s reader from the very beginning. There is some fighting action going on, but it’s very limited as most grown ups are busy in the North of London. There is a lot of tactical talk, alliances forming as well as information exchange about what had caused all of this, but as this is a build up for the grand finale it’s necessary and reasonable to have all of those talks in the book. The battle itself is indeed interesting, fast paced and nerve wracking. Once again Higson managed to keep me on edge, fearing for my favorites to be killed at any moment (fortunately they all survived). If there are major character deaths is hard to tell. It depends on who you consider a main/important character as there are some characters that have accompanied us for a long time or simply grew to me and died in the end. I was a bit surprised about some outcomes if I’m honest, but most of them didn’t have me as emotional as the character development and the reunions at the near end of the book. Some of the deaths and revelations did bring tears to my eyes though!

Moving on to the character department: I expected to not have to talk about characters or character development this time as I raved about my favorites enough in all my other reviews already. I also was a bit bummed to read that Ed wouldn’t get much show time this time as his story always was one of the most intense in my opinion (and I guess I’m right if I say that we all loved Ed). This still involved characters I absolutely loved since the beginning or was very interested in though so I was hyped to hear their stories again. An unexpected thing actually was how characters like Achilleus and Ryan suddenly started to grow on me. I didn’t hate them before, but they always managed to upset me with their ‘macho way of thinking/acting’. The End changed this a lot as both of them got to show how different they actually were and while some might think the new sides of Achilleus were unnecessary I for my part enjoyed them very much. I enjoyed reading about him opening up to others, I loved seeing him showing emotions other than aggression and anger. One of the scene I liked the most was Maxie and Achilleus talk about the past, about how Maxie did a great job leading them. I got so emotional during this. This kind of relationship is what I enjoyed most about this series. It didn’t have forced love stories (along the lines of ‘let’s just put everyone in a relationship’). It focused on friendship, on the thought of family. A thing you don’t see in many series lately and an aspect that made it feel real as I’m sure your first priority in an apocalypse isn’t falling in love. I’m not saying there aren’t any and there shouldn’t be any, but the few we got were the perfect amount.

The End isn’t perfect. I saw other reviewers mentioning the following things: The end is rather abrupt and could need an epilogue. Some characters didn’t get enough lines in this book or seemed to be ‘just there’ while being important parts before. I dare say you are right, but maybe there will be a new series? Maybe it’s meant to be up to your imagination? I rather have characters not being mentioned enough than having a book of 800 pages with forced conversations, action and prolonging just to get enough space for all of them. I’m sure this is why Higson created The Hunted. To have enough space to do all his great characters justice. At least that’s what I think. The reason why I won’t call The End perfect is because of some scene that felt a bit off. Other than that The End is a great end to an amazing series that more readers should pick up. ...more

Who will realise their mistakes too late? ("We're just kids. How could we be expected to make the right decisions?") In this, the final of The Enemy series, Higson pulls out all the stops, for a heart pounding, earth shattering climax.

I can't fully express my love for this series. It's been an amazing ride, with incredible characters and shocking twists and turns. I've been on the edge of my seat the entire series and I was not ready for it to end. But it did. It's over. It really is the end. No more Maxie, no more Sam, no more Ed, no more Shadowman. No more St George. And there were so many characters that didn't feature nearly as much as I wanted them too. I'm finding it really hard to accept. I mean, it just ended. Yeah, everything was tied up nicely and I really enjoyed myself, but I want more. I need more. I mean, I could read about these kids forever, even if they turn out to lead the most boring lives from here on out. Because they're just the most amazing bunch of kids ever. I want them all as friends. I really do.

The best part about this series is definitely the characters. Higson created such interesting ones with such opposing personalities and no matter who they were, good or bad, I connected with them all on some level, well aside from the grown ups of course. And I realised in this instalment how important the characters were to my emotional responses towards events. This time round, with every death, I realised I was only emotional when the right people were told. I cried when they cried. Now I've done plenty of crying throughout this series so maybe I finally reached my limit. Or maybe there was just too much going on for me to fully process everything.

★★★★☆

This will forever be one of my favourite series'. Higson's opened up a whole new world for me and I know that, despite the tears, I will definitely be revisiting this series someday. But what was with telling me to go back to the start of the series now? I'm definitely not ready for that yet. Do you want to destroy me? ...more

Finally finished with the series. This book was quite enjoyable. The characters and dialogue are interesting. However, I have outgrown the YA genre. The other problem was that the books take different timelines with a huge set of characters that I have forgotten over the years. With that, I still think that Charlie Higson is a good writer for the genre. He is descriptive and his plot elements are very fast paced.
