(hey, wait a second.) Something I found really annoying is that POV switched rather randomly. Other than the fact that a bunch of teenagers are trying to kill each other, they had no similarities. A lot of people have told me this book is like The Hunger Games (a book I really enjoyed), but I disagree. This is definitely a 12+ book for the gruesome deaths and dating drama. It took me about a month to finish this 404 (I've counted the pages several times) page book. Every week there is a drop that gives food and clothing so naturally people join up and create gangs. The military comes in wearing hazmat suits and tells them that only teenagers going through puberty are immune to this disease and once they leave puberty the disease will begin to kill them.
As they begin 'burying' the teachers, all of the seniors start to die too. All of the adults immediately die gruesome deaths but, somehow the teenagers survive. In Quarantine: The Loners, a virus is released inside the walls of McKinley High. Quarantine: The Loners has been on my to read list for quite some time now and I've finally gotten around to it. "Take Michael Grant's Gone and Veronica Roth's Divergent, rattle them in a cage until they're ready to fight to the death, and you'll have something like this nightmarish debut.Thomas' whirlwind pace, painful details, simmering sexual content, and moments of truly shocking ultra-violence thrust this movie-ready high school thriller to the head of the class." - Booklist (starred review) In this frighteningly dark and captivating novel, a 2012 Booklist Editor's Choice, Lex Thomas locks readers inside a school where kids don't fight to be popular, they fight to stay alive. It's just him and his little brother, Will, against the whole school.
Violent gangs have formed based on high school social cliques. All the students are infected with a virus that makes them deadly to adults. And that was just the beginning.Ī year later, McKinley has descended into chaos. When loner David Thorpe tried to help his English teacher to safety, the teacher convulsed and died right in front of him. It was just another ordinary day at McKinley High-until a massive explosion devastated the school. " As original as The Hunger Games, set within the walls of a high school exactly like yours." - Kami Garcia, New York Times best-selling co-author of the Beautiful Creatures novels
