So far, this is an epic continuation to an already epic book series. The first chapter vividly describes the maniacal thoughts of one of the characters, who was infected with the mysterious sickness infecting every adult. New characters are introduced, creating even more new factions and relationships. The overall vibe of the book is similar to the first, but there is now a sense of teamwork over the darkness.

The Fear continues to be extremely realistic and brutal. During a fight, more of a massacre really, one of the characters whom we have known for 2 whole books died in one sentence. Another character, who finally finds some sense of happiness, gets gutted in 2 sentences. If I had one word to describe this series so far, it would definitely be brutal. There is no other way to describe the constant fear and massacre.

The Fear continues to advance the dark, unforgiving feeling of the last book. Like the last book of the series, new and old characters are killed off, no matter how well the author wrote them. However, The Fear, unlike the last book, explores the author's concepts on how children in this horrible world would create governments and work with each other to defeat the enemy.

Charlie Higson continues to surprise me with how quickly he kills off characters. Even though the book centers around children, the overall darkness of the series does not reflect the protagonists' age at all. The series so far is very interesting, and Higson's ideas on how life would be for children without adults, especially in a crisis, seem very realistic and well thought-out.
