It was just another ordinary day at McKinley High—until a massive explosion devastated the school. When loner David Thorpe tried to help his English teacher to safety, the teacher convulsed and died right in front of him. And that was just the beginning.A year later, McKinley has descended into chaos. All the students are infected with a virus that makes them deadly to adults. The school is under military quarantine. The teachers are gone. Violent gangs have formed based on high school social cliques. Without a gang, you’re as good as dead. And David has no gang. It’s just him and his little brother, Will, against the whole school.

I really didn't like a single thing about the book-the writing, the plot, the characters, nothing. So if you're hoping I will praise something in it, all I can say is 'Move along, nothing to see here' *flaps arms at readers*I usually take a lot of notes while reading so I can refer to them later to refresh my memory. My notes begin with 'Quarantine: The Losers' which probably sums up my feelings perfectly. Lets start with the characters shall we? The guys are all mean, obnoxious jerks whose only2.5 It Was a Struggle StarsTo say I struggled with this one would be an understatement. It took about two weeks to finish the book and unfortunately it just never got better. The ending in fact just served to piss me off more and set the stage for the next book which I could care less about reading. Apocalypse, disease, dystopian novels are my jam, and even with an actual Quarantine happening around the world, I could not find it in me to like this book. The book was essentially highschool
i was very prepared to dislike this book. this is not the same as expecting to dislike it, mind you, i was hoping to like it, but i was bracing myself for it to be bad, because i am a realist. because as much as i love these kinds of books, plenty of them are lackluster and very samey: Trapped, The Way We Fall, No Safety In Numbers, etc. and this one is not without flaws, but they are the kind of flaws where the sheer fun of the book dwarfs the flaws. that is the only time i will use a kitten to
Read-along with the awesome Cas!------------------------------------I can't remember the last time a book made me so angry. I've had my fair share of disappointingly bad books, but one that left such a bad taste on my mouth and my blood boiling with how offended I was by it? If I ever did read one that had the same effect, I've forgotten about it and I do hope Quarantine: The Loners suffers the same fate. If I could give zero stars to this book, I would. But I refuse to leave this book without a
I didn't think that I was going to like this book much. As hard as I try not to make judgements about books before reading them, I do make small ones. While I was pleasantly surprised by this one, I still have my reservations about the second book. That being said, there is a strong possibility that I would read the second book.It was both interesting and annoying to see the prevalence of stereotypes in this book. In the description we know that gangs have formed, but the gangs are just high
Looking for a light, fluffy read? NOT HERE! This is dark, gritty, violent and terrifying on several levels. One of the most disturbing books I have ever read. And I love it! I've now read it twice.Meet David, your typical high school student who was once the most popular guy is school until his mother's death who lost his way in life. A new year in school with his younger brother, Will, is going to be a year he will never forget. Mid-day finds him witnessing the death of the faculty before his
