Was a bit slow moving. There really wasn't a ton of action, but it was pretty interesting read. Not completely believable of a concept, but entertaining. The main character was made interesting by the supporting characters more than Sal, herself.
Reminded me slightly of a Crichton novel in the medical thriller, with sc-Fi mix.

Not only did she phone it in, she telegraphed the ending. I’m still going to read the next one.

So far this looks like another zombie series, but with a twist relating to the main character. The twist is not revealed in the book.
As always, with a book by Mira Grant there is good bio-science behind the story makes it plausable and great character development makes it fun to read.
If you liked any of the Newsflesh trilogy you'll enjoy this.

The premise of this is quite interesting - that science has provided the answer to all our health woes in the form of a simple intestinal parasite - however, I didn't find Sal to be an interesting enough character for me to follow on with the series. I mean, even the other characters say she's dull

I think the idea of a tapeworm type cure for all colds, illnesses and increase life is really cool. The pacing was interesting since it was very fast paced and as always Mira grants writing is good. The character work is not good in this and some moments came down to how stupid the characters are. I’ll probably still read on but it’s a book I don’t think you really need to read on.
