I was first introduced to Moody through his Autumn series, which although could never be considered the greatest literature were books that I really managed to get into and enjoy.

Dog Blood is the second book in a series called Hater, this finds us in a world that has been divided by a virus that has turned half the population into bloodthirsty maniacs intent on killing the other half. We continue to follow Danny, someone who has contracted the virus but become estranged from his young daughter. He tries to find her to see if she has been infected but must outsmart the military who are beginning a kind of systematic cleansing of the Haters. It now becomes a race not just to survive but to also be the dominant group, with both trying to exterminate the other.

I can't say I really enjoyed this series as much as I thought I would, it was ok and I suppose a fair sequel to Hater. The characters were quite thin and the speech very formulaic. However, unless the next instalment falls into my lap I doubt very much I will read it. ( )

Accidently read this before Hater and really liked it. When I went back and read Hater I was pretty disappointed. Glad I started in the middle with this particular series. ( )

Soooo much better than Hater! Kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more! ( )

Great novel - without coming out and saying what is going on the concent is great to make you use your own imagination to figure out what is going on and how it could possibly be something that could happen tomorrow and not even know it! Good series of books! ( )
