The Enemy

Recently I have been reading a book called The Enemy by Charles Higson. The book is set in London and the plot is about a virus that turns anyone over the age of 15 into zombie-like creatures called grown-ups and all the children have to survive against the odds. 1 day a kid meets up with a group of children living together in an abandoned grocery store and tells them that they can come with him back to the Buckingham Palace to start a new life with larger group of children who have made a mini fortress in which they can all live in. I'm not going to tell anything else about the book because of spoilers but it is a bit gory but at the same time quite exciting.

Quote from the book: "If a wolf attacks his sheep, the shepherd kills the wolf, but he eats the sheep when he is hungry".

This quote tells us about how the characters in the book don't trust each other. Even if they help you  one day they can turn on you the next. The book is full of uncertainty between the characters and who can they trust.
