The tension-filled sequel to The Strain, from the world-famous director whose films include Pan's Labyrinthe and Hellboy. Humans have been displaced at the top of the food chain, and now understand -- to their outright horror -- what it is to be not the consumer, but the consumed. Ephraim Goodweather, director of the New York office of the Centers for Disease control, is one of the few humans who understands what is really happening. Vampires have arrived in New York City, and their condition is contagious. If they cannot be contained, the entire world is at risk of infection. As Eph becomes consumed with the battle against the total corruption of humanity, his ex-wife, Kelly, now a vampire herself, is ever-more determined to claim their son, Zack. As the Biblical origins of the Ancient ones are gradually revealed, Eph learns that there is a greater, more terrible plan in store for the human race -- worse even than annihilation!
2.5 Stars...finally finished this book.
I still have no idea what to say about this book, other than I didn't like it. However, after thinking on this some more, and swallowing my stubborness, I've decided to not read the final book.
I just don't think I can take anymore.
If you loved/enjoyed the first book, you may like this one, and want to continue to the trilogy. If you were just meh on The Strain, you may feel really more underwhelmed with THE FALL (which is how I felt).
The writing: Meh.
The plot: Meh.
The characters: Meh.
My enjoyment: Meh.
Everything: Meh.
I'm done.
