kept me interested, but needed more

There were many names for the AIDS like virus that was sweeping across the world, but the American’s named it best when they called it the Omega virus. HAV or a modified AIDS virus has taken most of the world population, those who are left have to fight against each other and new gangs that are rising up daily.

Narration for this was pretty good, not amazing, and not terrible. There weren’t really any parts that I didn’t like, I just felt like he never really showed much emotion. The main character was going through so much in the book and it was maybe a few notches above monotone. Production was great, no issues there at all.

Well, two things are definitively clear, Principe knows a lot about radios and a lot about Italy/Napels. This book was not short on either one of those. He did a pretty good job explaining the virus, but for a book that seems to market itself as a bio-thriller the bio part is really missing. I would know, bio-thrillers are some of my favorite kind of fiction. If Principe had wanted to write a post-apocalyptic novel, he should have stayed away from using “Plague” in the title. That really gives the reader the wrong idea.

I think if I would have known this was a survival story/post apocalyptic story and not really a bio-thriller my rating may have gone up a bit.

I sort of felt like a “dumb American” while reading this, because I know little to nothing about the area in which this takes place, but I don’t think that Principe explained it well either. It just felt like he assumed the reader would know where he was talking about and what the scenery would look like.

Overall, the main character was slightly stale and underwhelming. I felt like he could have been better. Everything about his story: past, present, and future just seemed very cookie cutter to me.

The action in this story was pretty good, it definitely kept the story moving from beginning to end. There weren’t too many characters in this novel, but it just felt like something was missing.

Overall, the action and post-apocalyptic world kept me interested, but I wish there would have been more…something.
